Set in the Texas/Mexico border country in the years from 1944 to the present The River Beyond the World is the story of two women on the edge of sexual moral political and spiritual divides. Luisa Cantú is a girl from a Sierra Madre mountain village. After being impregnated in a fertility ritual of ancient origin she leaves Mexico to work in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas as a housemaid for Mrs. Eddie Hatch a woman with a strong will and a narrow worldview.
