A melancholic, introspective drama about obsessive love and jealousy set against wartime London, where a man's fixation on a lost affair drives him toward moral compromise and spiritual questioning.

On a rainy London night in 1946, novelist Maurice Bendrix has a chance meeting with Henry Miles, husband of his ex-mistress Sarah, who abruptly ended their affair two years before. Bendrix's obsession with Sarah is rekindled; he succumbs to his own jealousy and arranges to have her followed.
