If you attempt to awaken them or if the gauze wrapping their bodies is disturbed, the women become feral and spectacularly violent.

Only one woman, Eve Black is immune to this sleeping condition. This causes the all male community to wonder what they should do about her as they move towards violence. All of this takes place in a small Appalachian town whose primary employer is a women’s prison.
