Sinopse

Valentine Corliss returns to his hometown after years abroad, stepping back onto Corliss Street on a hot summer day. As he walks and reconnects with familiar places and people, he reflects on how much has changed since his departure, along with memories of earlier encounters and childhood rivalries. His visit brings him into the orbit of local social life, where attention follows him quickly, and romantic complications begin to form. When Valentine goes to the Madison household, he meets Cora Madison and her sister, Laura. Differences in their personalities and the way they interact help define the early tensions of the story, as Cora becomes especially drawn to Valentine’s charm.
