The story

It is 1924. Newlywed Kate Judson Lawrence is distraught to discover on her wedding night that her upper-class Philadelphia Main Line husband, William, never really wanted to marry her, when he says, "It was my mother who wanted this marriage, to give her a grandson. But I can't love you, Kate, I can't love anyone", presumably because of his unconfessed homosexuality.
