Antoinette Blake traveled to London to visit her daughter and met her favorite actor, Adam Knowles. They've fallen hard for each other and, several weeks later, are in Rome, Italy on a vacation. They spend a lovely afternoon strolling around the Colosseum and feasting on gelato in a sidewalk café. Upon returning to their hotel, they run into Adam's former lover, Cammy Suarez, a sexy American actress who tries to woo Adam back into her arms. Cammy is a much younger woman than Antoinette which causes Antoinette's insecurities about her own age to rise to the surface, threatening her relationship with Adam.
Adam's own frustration over Antoinette's doubts about his love and what he believes to be her irrational behavior as a result of her jealousy of the younger woman make him doubt that he can continue to try to make Antoinette the center of his life.
