Tilly è tornata. Da Dungatar, paesino desertico di qualche centinaio di anime in cui è nata e cresciuta, era stata cacciata decenni prima, per un incidente che l'ha traumatizzata al punto da averlo rimosso e ora ci torna come affermata stilista. Siamo nel 1951 e Tilly porta con sè una ventata di modernità, di abiti su misura alla moda che mettono in risalto le forme di donne che parevano aver dimenticato tutto, chiuse nel bigottismo locale. Non si tratta però di un ritorno pacifico. Fare vestiti per gli abitanti di Dungatar è solo un modo per iniziare a scoprire cosa ci sia nel suo passato, cosa abbia fatto impazzire sua madre, perché ancora venga insultata e in ultima analisi, vendicarsi.
