A young girl's past comes back to haunt her in this moving story of teenage passion and small town mores set in rural Georgia in 1948. Buster Lane (Jan Michael Vincent) one of the handsomest, most popular boys in school, is dating the town's prettiest girl, Margie Hooks (Pamela Sue-Martin). His only problem is Margie's refusal to make love with him until they're married. In his frustration, he turns to Billie, (Joan Goodfellow), a shy farm girl who's allowed herself to be used by all the boys to win their acceptance. Although Buster's intentions aren't honourable at first, a relationship develops when he discovers a vulnerable beauty in her. To everyone's dismay, they're soon caught up in a tender, passionate love affair - which is destined for an abrupt and tragic twist of fate.
