Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's real-life passion drives this tale of illicit love between a free-spirited single mother and a married minister in a small coastal town. When her son is sent to a private school, Laura Edwards (Taylor) shocks the school administrator, Episcopalian priest Dr. Edward Hewitt (Burton), with her bohemian attitudes and lifestyle. But the two soon find themselves drawn to each other.
