A young actor and a leading lady from Hollywood fall in love amidst their busy careers.
In this film, based on Peter Turner's autobiography, we see the life of Gloria Grahame, one of the most iconic figures in the 40/50s "black films" genre, who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 57. When Gloria Grahame's life is threatened by the disease, a young actor named Peter Turner (played by Jamie Bell) enters her world to provide care. As they spend time together, the relationship between the two blossoms into something more.
