Italian immigrant Gino Micelli and his wife Rosanna started with virtually nothing, which Gino has now built up into a successful northern Nevada sheep farming operation with his brother Alberto, Alberto's wife Teresa, and their longtime hand Bene. Gino hired Bene when he was just a boy and treats him like a son, planning on giving him the entire operation when the time comes--Bene being his true son, which he has long planned as he has always seen Bene marrying his now 21-year-old daughter Angie, although neither Bene nor Angie has ever said anything to Gino about it, and there's nothing to say as they don't feel that way about each other. As Rosanna has long passed, and as Angie is away at school in Boston, Gino has made the decision to marry Rosanna's sister Gioia in Italy without the two ever even having met before. Although Gino and Gioia both want the marriage to work, obstacles are raised in it truly being able to work. Knowing it or not, Gino wants her to be "Rosanna", whom she isn't and cannot be. As hard as Gino tries to please Gioia, his efforts always seem to be what he wants for her and not what she really wants. And while Gioia wants to be treated like a true human being and not the spirit of her dead sister, she also does not want her life mapped out for her like Gino seems to have done. Watching from the sidelines, Bene develops feelings for Gioia himself, feelings which he knows can't continue as long as he remains in Gino's employ and remains Gino's friend.
