Muriel and her husband Lee are beginning a bright new life in California when he returns from the Korean War. But their newfound stability is upended by the arrival of Lee’s charismatic brother, Julius, a wayward gambler with a secret past. A dangerous love triangle quickly forms. When Julius takes off in search of the young card cheat he’s fallen for, Muriel’s longing for something more propels her into a secret life of her own, gambling on racehorses and exploring a love she never dreamed possible.

Minahan’s engrossing, beautiful to behold drama has been somewhat dismissed for its old-school storytelling style. But that is sort of the entire point here as it plays and messes with those tropes by giving them a queer sensibility all of its own.
