Christine, a student nun, receives a job offer from the summer student placement program, to work on a local horse farm. Her employer is an embittered atheist who hates Catholics and and distrusts all women, but becomes extremely ill, leaving Christine to manage the farm on her own. She also meets up with a couple of locals who come to jealous blows over her. She finds herself expelled from the convent after the death of one of the nuns; and becomes embroiled in a dispute with representatives of a neighboring park who wish to expropriate the farm. What should Christine do? Should she defy all odds and try once again for her novitiate and become a nun herself some day, or should she she settle down on the farm and marry the boy who is so obviously head over heels in love with her?
