"The Caves" tells the story of Prima, a young widow building a small homestead on a lonely mountain in California during the late 19th century. One snowy night, she stumbles across Maggie, nearly frozen to death, out in the wilderness. Prima takes Maggie into her home and nurses her back to health. Jocelyn, a madame in the nearby small town, is a devoted friend of Prima who has suspicions that Maggie is trouble. Despite her friend's misgivings, Prima and Maggie create a beautiful home, and together they find a love neither has ever felt before. However, Maggie was mixed up with some dangerous folks before Prima found her and lives in fear of her past misdeeds catching up with her. When Jesse, a young man trying to find out the fate of his older brother, arrives on Prima’s doorstep, Maggie will find herself in the fight of her life to protect everything she and Prima have built together. This is not an update on “the old west” but a dramatization of the many stories of women, queer people, and people of color who helped build "the old west".
