David gives his wife, Joyce, an unexpected—and unpleasant—surprise when he suddenly demands a divorce. When she then learns that David has taken up with a younger woman, Joyce decides to make the most of this separation by taking a solo trip to the Caribbean. However, just before diving into a vacation fling, she runs into Emily, an old chum whose own divorce has left her embittered. Joyce then debates giving married life one last chance.
Bette Davis radiates a sharp, wounded dignity as she pivots from a sudden divorce to a defiant solo escape in the Caribbean. This mid-century melodrama finds its pulse in her refusal to play the victim while navigating a landscape of betrayal and new romance.
