Buried.in.Barstow.2022 refers to a made-for-TV thriller/drama starring Angie Harmon (known for Law & Order and Rizzoli & Isles). The film premiered on Lifetime in 2022. The title is a dark pun: “Buried” references both physical secrets and the desert town of Barstow, California—often seen as a bleak, forgotten stop on the way to Las Vegas or Los Angeles.
The story follows Willie (Harmon), a single mother and former Las Vegas performer now working as a chef in Barstow. Her past catches up when a violent encounter forces her to use survival skills learned from her father (a survivalist). A drifter she helps—Kye—brings danger, and Willie ends up in a deadly cat-and-mouse game involving buried money and buried bodies. The film leans into small-town corruption, maternal vengeance, and desert noir tropes. The file details you've provided suggest the following: 1
