Devastated by the abuse from her husband, Josey Aimes (Charlize Theron) gets a divorce and returns to her hometown in North Minnesota. With two kids to take care of, Josey takes a back-breaking job at the iron mine where she becomes one of only a handful of female employees and faces harsh reality. Along with the other women, she endures humiliation and sexual harassment from the male miners who brook no competition from womanhood. Despite the risk of losing her good-paying job, Josey finds the courage to take legal action against the company in order to stand up for herself and her fellow female coworkers. As a result, the case becomes the first sexual harassment lawsuit in the history of the United States to be won.
