Maggie Smith is a lonely spinster who moves into a new Dublin boardinghouse. She falls in love with the brother of the owner, Bob Hoskins, recently relocated from New York City. He turns out to be not only a heel but a rapist. It takes her awhile to realize that maybe he doesn't love her. She spirals out of control leading to a religious crisis and hospitalization. Dreary Dublin scenery doesn't do much to enliven this overwrought drama.
