Maria is a single mother living alone with her son Magnus. When ex-con Leffe charms his way into their lives, he consistently does daring and stupid things, and is not likely to remain out of prison for long. Maria's long-time friend/boyfriend tries to help Leffe out, as do all those involved with him. Soon enough, he has to return to prison, cheerful, and not one bit wiser. However, the good times he had with Maria and her son has taken off the edge of bitterness which used to dog him.
