Nancy Irving is an American professional golfer on tour in England. She is also sought out by a reclusive millionaire because she has a rare blood type – and he now needs continuous blood transfusions or he’ll die. His henchmen drug Nancy and stage her death… can a now-physical weakening Nancy find a way to escape his mansion and tell the world she is alive rather than being “The Late Nancy Irving”.
