The ravine / chasm is used as a dumping ground for enemies of her gunrunning criminal father (Ed Harris has the most incredible hairstyle in this film, I really admire it, lol) from whom K-Stew is estranged, she hates her father. K-Stew meets a homeless lesbian bodybuilder? and they do THE SEX and also murder someone, so K-Stew concocts a plan to set fire to and dump the body in this isolated ravine, with the thinking that police will see the massive desert smoke plume, find the wrecked car with their murder victim (alongside the piles of other victims and remains, previous witnesses who tried to testify against her criminal father) and so the police will blame him instead etc.
It is not a particularly deep or undecipherable film, here the dark chasm the black gash in the desert is an unsubtle metaphor for the vagina. Also despite the genre of the film (sun bleached near Las Vegas 1980s corrupt police / criminal type setting etc) the main theme appears to be "girls bailed out by their wealthy father" (despite his initial red neck gun range introduction, Ed Harris as the crime boss father lives in a massive luxurious mansion) you can tell that whoever wrote this script had a fairly privileged upbringing, despite the dirty grunge salacious sweaty sleaze thriller masquerade of the setting. I think you have to be fairly well comnected to get financing and make breakout films these days. Catholic school (which I believe the film's writer-director attended hehe) does appear to produce lesbians, sadly the modern trend of narratives de-centred from men often makes them the unappealing variety
