Cassavetes plays a gambler leaving prison who returns to an old flame, Sellars, only to find out that she is married and has a 14-year-old son, O'Sullivan. Cassavetes is persistent, and before long the boy isn't sure whether Farrar or Cassavetes is his real father. Sellars is emotionally
torn between the men and her responsibilities as a mother, and O'Sullivan is tormented by his classmates and a particularly vile schoolmaster, Bayldon.
