Carla is a "sensitive"—a woman vulnerable to the vibrations and energies of metal that most people can’t feel. She has settled into a comfortable Southern California nest to minimize her vulnerability and to prepare for her upcoming marriage to the über-normal Michael. When she comes into possession of a silver necklace that was probably stolen from the Navajo reservation, Carla cannot ignore the signs that compel her to leave her comfortable nest. With her ever-indulgent best friend Lucy, Carla embarks on a journey to Canyon de Chelly to return the necklace to its rightful place.
Along the way, Carla and Lucy encounter a bizarre cast of cowboys, Navajos, Hopis, and German experimental filmmakers. Carla must discover new rules for surviving, and what transpires becomes an odyssey that forever blurs the lines between imagination and reality.
