Očarljiva Grace se na begu pred skupino gangsterjev zateče v Dogville, samotno naselje sredi Skalnega gorovja. Na pobudo mladega Toma , samozvanega predstavnika malega mesta, ji prebivalci Dogvilla ponudijo zatočišče, Grace pa se zaveže, da bo v zameno delala zanje. A ko se prične policijska preiskava, mala skupnost zahteva ugodnejši dogovor v zameno za tvegano skrivanje nesrečne Grace, ki se sooči s krutim dejstvom, da je dobrota tega mesteca zelo relativna. Toda Grace v sebi nosi skrivnost in to zelo nevarno. Prebivalcem Dogvilla bo morda še celo žal, da so si drznili pokazati zobe.
