When Nelda Hanson returns to her Iowa farmland home, she meets again her teenage love, Lute, who was, for a few brief months, her husband. There is still misunderstanding and anger despite the old feelings that rise between them again. Ten years have passed since their divorce in 1949. After their infant daughter died, Nelda went to Chicago and became a successful interior decorator whereas Lute stayed in Iowa, farming the land. Nelda recognizes that she is a different woman now and that Lute has matured and is virtually a stranger to her. Is their love reawakening or are they merely under the spell of nostalgia and a desire to recapture what might have been?
