Disowned and heavily pregnant, Mary arrives at her new home provided by her lover Count Kentaro Kurihama.

After a difficult confinement Mary learns she can have no more children.

It is now 1935, and, although resigned to never finding her son, Mary has remained in Japan and become a wealthy and successful businesswoman.
