Irene Redfield is a light-skinned African American who runs into a childhood friend, Clare Bellew at a hotel in New York. While Irene is married to a black doctor and lives the life of a black person, Clare passes as white and is married to a wealthy white businessman from Chicago. As the two women reconnect, they compare their different lifestyles: Clare admits she misses the African-American world she abandoned.

Sadly, the outcome for Clare becomes tragic.
