A son who's lost all the zest that life still has for him, wishes he was freed from the guilt of the responsibility of looking after his sick, grumpy old father. But then he meets a beautiful drifter named, Nova and things are never quite the same. His father charms their new guest and she's actually taken by his strong magnetism. He orders his son to leave and carry out his daily chores, so he can spend some alone time with the beautiful vagrant, but the son has had enough. The time has come to make a stand and put an end to years of his father's barbarous behaviour. Nova understands the son's suffering and aids him in her own special way.
