Conrad Ungaretti regards women as disposable. He enjoys each one for a short while then moves on to the next. Once he's had enough, he plans to marry a traditional Italian virgin and settle down.
Ingrid Sunderland earns her living as a nightclub singer. The death of her parents has left her penniless, and she's had to put her dreams of an operatic career on hold to support her little sister, Karin.
When Karin is invited to spend the summer holidays with a school friend, Ingrid joins the Ungaretti family at their Long Island mansion, only to learn that Conrad, the girl's uncle, lives there too and is in need of a mistress.
Ingrid is determined to resist the rich man's arrogant pursuit. Conrad is used to getting what he wants. As the attraction between them flares out of control, each has to decide which goals are worth fighting for and which can be sacrificed.
