"The Widow" (all of 19 or 20 years old) is on the run from her twin brothers-in-law, a creepy pair who give an immediate clue as to why she killed her husband. As she flees into the mountains and they follow behind, shotguns over their shoulders, her story comes together piece by piece. She encounters an eccentric array of strangers on her travels, who help her in a variety of ways.

I don't want to give too much away, so I'll just say that I did not see most of the twists coming, although I did hope for the ending.
