Angelo eventually becomes love-struck by his new neighbor, Olivia Landis, who he describes as a bird with a broken wing. When Angelo enters her life, Olivia feels whole again. After their friendship evolves into a love affair, Angelo's family finds out and do not believe he is capable of consenting to the relationship. While Olivia becomes entangled in a serious legal dilemma, a psychologist evaluates Angelo's decision-making capabilities.
