After enduring an injury at Dunkirk during World War II, Laurie Odell is sent to a rural veterans' hospital in England to convalesce. There he befriends the young, bright Andrew, a conscientious objector serving as an orderly. Soon their friendship blooms into a discreet, chaste romance. Injured at Dunkirk, Laurie Odell is recovering at a rural veterans' hospital when he meets Andrew, a conscientious objector serving as an orderly. The men find solace in their covert friendship. Then Ralph Lanyon, a mentor from Laurie's school days, appears. Through him, Laurie is drawn into a circle of gay men for whom liaisons are fleeting, and he is forced to choose between the ideals of a perfect friendship and the pleasures of experience.
