The Trackers

In the midst of the Great Depression, Val Welch, a young artist working for the Works Progress Administration (WPA), is commissioned to paint a mural in a small town in Wyoming. His assignment leads him to the expansive ranch of a wealthy collector and his enigmatic, much younger wife, Eve. Eve, a former nightclub singer with a captivating allure and a mysterious past, immediately draws Val into her orbit. As he attempts to capture her essence on canvas, an unexpected intimacy develops between them. However, Eve abruptly vanishes, leaving behind only a cryptic note. Val is then tasked by the ranch owner to track her across the country, a journey that takes him through the struggling landscapes of Depression-era America, from the dusty plains to the bustling streets of California. His pursuit unravels a complex web of secrets, love, and betrayal, forcing Val to confront the blurred lines between art, desire, and identity, all while navigating a nation in flux.
