Reagan plays a biochemist who travels to a secluded area on the Gulf Coast of Florida when he learns that he has been stricken with epilepsy. He rents a beach house from the recently widowed Lindfors to convalesce and continue his work in private. As the days go by the doctor and the lonely widow grow close, but Reagan keeps his medical problem a secret. The dark and beautiful Lindfors has a few secrets as well. Each time she enters the house, she hears her late husbands voice. Soon she confides in Reagan and he tries to convince her that the house is not haunted. It seems to him that her problems are psychological. More trouble arises when Reagan undergoes a violent epileptic fit and his doctor, Baker, informs him that his condition is irreversible and terminal. Deeply depressed, Reagan attempts suicide by walking into a hurricane. Lindfors learns of Reagans problems and, now in love with him, saves his life and vows to stay by his side.
