Dr. Matthew Clark is the head of a state institution for intellectually disabled children. Jean Hansen, a former music teacher anxious to give her life some meaning, joins the staff of the hospital.

She becomes emotionally involved with 12-year-old Reuben Widdicombe, who has been abandoned by his divorced parents.
