Strawberry Fields tells the story of two sisters who both desire the same man but in different ways.

A seemingly carefree woman is seen riding through tiny roads until arriving at a strawberry farm, where she accepts a job, lives in a shabby trailer, and begins to form bonds with her coworkers, particularly one gruff farmhand named Kev. Although distant and secretive, it is not until a brilliant lady comes in the strawberry fields that we learn who she was fleeing from, Emily, her sister. Emily is quirky to the point of danger, and it isn’t long until the two sisters start a battle of wills, with Kev stuck in the middle.
