The poignant, wonderfully rich story of a family of doctors and a love nothing could suppress.
Fate has dealt some cruel blows to brilliant young doctor, Martin Farrell. The premature death of his father forces him to abandon his plans to become a famous brain-surgeon. Instead, he must take over the family's old-fashioned country practice. Then his burning desire for the beautiful Mary Fern is thwarted when she marries another suitor.
Embittered and frustrated, Martin accepts a heartless bargain and marries a woman he does not love - Mary Fern's vulnerable younger sister. A move which can only lead to heartache.
