When Bertie arrives destitute at Franks doorstep, he finds refuge and soon indulges in a lavish lifestyle, all at Franks expense. However, everything changes when Frank meets Eva during a holiday in Norway and decides to marry her. As Eva wrestles with her feelings about Berties deep affection for Frank, tensions rise, and Frank is torn between his two relationships. Ultimately, he learns that the path of life is often dictated by forces beyond our control.
