Peggy Newman, a woman with a checkered past, makes the life-changing decision to become a private investigator following the death of her beloved mother, who she lived with in the small desert town of Yucca Valley, California.
"High Desert" is a darkly comedic and eccentric TV series created by Jennifer Hoppe, Nancy Fichman, and Katie Ford. Set in the captivating and strange High Desert region, the show follows Peggy Newman, played by Patricia Arquette, a drug dealer turned methadone user, frontier-era reenactor, and aspiring private investigator.
Arquette's portrayal of Peggy is a whirlwind of chaos and uninhibited energy, as she navigates her way through harebrained schemes and unconventional endeavors.

Woke labels
Members can file a published criterion and itemized evidence. Other members +1 or −1 that reason — once. If 10% of members who weighed in file a label, and a reason reaches net +5, that rank keeps the title omitted from the database. Weak labels do not.
