Plot

Father Gregory Lind (Robert Forster) is a Catholic priest struggling with his life in the priesthood. He wishes to change parishes, but is denied the transfer time after time. The story starts with him arriving at the local hospital after being informed that one of his charges is dying after trying to steal a car. He meets Pamela Gibson (Lauren Hutton) – a widowed and rich social worker from the local Community Center. Together they decide to find out more about the deceased teen.

The pair checks up on Estella Rios (Kathy Baca), the boy's pregnant, underage girlfriend. They don't agree on what should be done about her. Later Father Lind finds out from Mrs. Rios (Miriam Martinez) that Pamela likely took Estella to get an abortion. This leads to more arguments between the two, but they lose importance when Estella ends up in a hospital and miscarries. The social worker breaks down and Father Lind has sex with her after taking her home.

To forget the act and Pamela, he spends time away from her but returns and they go on a romantic weekend in the mountains. To clear up his confusing feelings about his love for the widow and priesthood, Father Lind visits his family, hoping for support. He receives none from his mother (Edith Atwater) when he informs her about his wish to leave the life of a priest, and is forbidden by her from doing so. Feeling angry and betrayed, he takes a vacation and goes to work in a hospital in Santa Fe.

Unknown to him, one of the priests from his parish visits Pamela to force her to leave Father Lind alone, accusing her of trying to destroy his future. The social worker disagrees and visits Lind, but they end up in another argument when Pamela insists that he choose between his love for her and the priesthood. After spending some time at his parish in Albuquerque, Lind visits the Bishop (Will Geer) to inform him about his wish to leave the priesthood. The Bishop cannot change his mind. Lind, no longer a priest, finds Pamela, says he chooses her and they end up together.
