Muriel and her husband Lee are beginning a bright new life in California following his return from the Korean War, which is upended by the arrival of Lee’s charismatic younger brother, Julius. Lee is keen for the three of them to build a new life together in San Diego, but Julius disappears and heads for Las Vegas instead, where he finds employment in a casino and begins a secret romantic relationship with a male co-worker, Henry. Muriel embarks on a secret life of her own, gambling on racehorses, and discovering a love she never thought possible after meeting Sandra.
