Bette Davis stars as a respected writer who encourages childhood friend and stay-at-home wife and mother Miriam Hopkins to pen a steamy romance novel that becomes a smash hit. Ten years later, Hopkins' unexpected success has put a strain on the lifelong friendship and prompted her husband (John Loder) to turn his attention toward Davis.
