The story

College student William Popper (Michael Sarrazin) is visited by his aunt Ruth who persuades him to drive to see his father, which he opts to do rather than attend a talk with his girlfriend Jane (Barbara Hershey), later that evening, much to her annoyance. He sets off to see his father in Connecticut in heavy rain after sunset, in a small sports car. With limited visibility he accidentally strikes a woman who is crossing between parked cars still in the city centre.
