Returning home to a small town in Texas, Kay Tuckett unexpectedly meets the woman who everyone believes killed his brother. Laura Mallory has only one goal left in life and the only hope - that Kay will help her achieve it. Lost in love, he cannot resist the charms of this seductress and is even ready to risk his life for her. But everything turns out to be completely different from what it seems at first glance - betrayal and lies are hidden behind dignity and devotion, and sincere and devoted love is forced to hide under the mask of vice.
