Den unge arkitekt Michael Hillyard og kunstneren Nancy McAllister er fast besluttede på at gifte sig til trods for Michaels velhavende mors misbilligelse. Men få minutter før brylluppet indtræffer en frygtelig ulykke, som skiller de to elskende ad – måske for evigt. Hver især tager de hul på et nyt liv – Nancy i Californien og Michael i New York. Men det skal vise sig, at intet – og ingen – kan holde dem adskilt, da de holder deres løfte til hinanden om aldrig at sige farvel.
