For Jane March, a young woman from Scotland, life in Southern California can be very lonely, especially with her screenwriter father always gone for meetings in L.A. or parties with glamorous people from the film business. She misses Elvie, her grandmother's house where she grew up and daydreams about her dashing cousin, Sinclair Bailey, with whom she has been in love for as long as she can remember. When her grandmother's lawyer, David Stewart, shows up to ask her why she has not answered her grandmother's letters and invitations, Jane realizes that her father must have hidden them from her.
She returns to Scotland with David, exhilirated that she can pick up with Sincliar where they left off. It does not take her long to find out that Sinclair has changed into a ruthless, self-centered egoist who shies away from responsibility and loves to manipulate people. Slowly but painfully, Sinclair´s hold on Jane diminishes. When he asks her to marry him, she realizes that he is only after her prospects of inheriting Elvie.
When she resists him, he becomes so violent that Jane is terrified. The jilted Sinclair drives off to his death over a country bridge in an uncontrollable rage. Jane begins to see quiet, scholarly David with new eyes. She accepts the end of her childhood and with David´s help she will survive its ghosts.
