In Socorro, New Mexico, Alice Hyatt's abusive husband, Donald, a Coca-Cola delivery driver, is killed on the job in a traffic accident.

A former singer, Alice sells most of her belongings, intending to take her son, Tommy, to her childhood home of Monterey, California, where she hopes to pursue the singing career she abandoned when she married Donald.

She meets Ben, a younger, seemingly unmarried man who charms her into a sexual relationship that comes to a sudden end when his wife, Rita, confronts Alice.
