The central character is an eighteen-year-old woman named Eliza (Elizabeth Moorman), who learns from an astrologer that she will meet a rich husband and proceeds to look for one. She rooms with an older prostitute (Lila Kedrova, the veteran Russian-born actress who had won an Oscar for Zorba the Greek) in a rundown Montreal apartment where a young man of mixed indigenous and European heritage (Tommy Lee Jones in one of his first screen appearances) falls for her. Later he is killed trying to blow up a bridge as a form of protest.
