When two friends fall for the same woman, there's bound to be trouble. Kyle Hadley and Mitch Wayne grew up together and have been best friends all of their lives. Kyle hasn't accomplished a great deal with his life however. He is the son of a millionaire oilman and has spent most of his time carousing in his private airplane and especially drinking. Mitch on the other comes from a poor family but has worked hard and now works as a geologist for Hadley Oil. When they meet Lucy Moore it is Kyle who sweeps her off her feet. For a year or so he stops drinking and all is well but when his doctor tells him he may never father children, he again begins to drink heavily. Mitch is also in love with Lucy but hides his true feelings and throughout these difficult times is pursued by Kyle's free-spirited and wild younger sister Marylee. When Lucy becomes pregnant Kyle is convinced that she has been having an affair with Mitch and sets out to get his revenge.—garykmcd
