Raven (Darlena Tejeiro) and Ashley (Andrea Bogart), two young women returning from a rock-climbing expedition, find themselves harassed by a group of bikers at a dusty bar in the desert. With surprise and guile on their side, the girls escape by stealing the leader's bike. Within minutes the furious biker gang is in hot pursuit through the hazardous terrain. Believing they have evaded the bikers, the girls discover a satchel of cash on their damaged bike and stumble across the desert to a small motel. The owner, Ned (Joe Goodrich), has agreed to drive them into town when suddenly the bikers appear, and they're looking for payback and the money.

Based on Gila Almagor’s autobiographical book, Under the Domim Tree follows a group of teenagers who survived the Holocaust in a boarding school in the early 50s. During the day, they are like all other adolescents, but at night they struggle with their painful memories. The place where they feel secure is under the Domim tree.
