'The curtain rises to reveal a high, windy bluff over the Mississippi River. It is called Lover's Leap. On the verge are two old trees whose leafless branches have been grotesquely twisted by the winds. Heavenly enters. She has the natural and yet highly developed charm that is characteristic of girls of pure southern stock. Her nature is confusing to herself and to all who know her.' Heavenly has almost everything a young woman could desire - beauty, charm and a host of male admirers. And one Spring she is forced to decide between her handsome and wild lover, Dick, and the respectable and sensitive Arthur. Her actions will have consequences for both her debt ridden family and other young people in the town, as they are all caught up in a storm that threatens to tear their lives apart.
