Vania marries Clifford Howard, a drug-addicted writer, upon her arrival in the US. Howard's addiction begins to escalate and later turns into a nightmare of abuse.

Defense attorney Hugh Mason, who believes in her innocence, eventually falls in love with his client. Vania does not tell the truth for fear of losing his lover.
