In the late 1940s, Frank Sinatra's career is on a downward spiral due to vocal cord issues and scandalous press coverage of his alleged Mafia connections and extramarital affairs.

Sinatra divorces his wife Nancy to marry Gardner, but their marriage is plagued by suspicion and scandal. Throughout this harrowing romance, Sinatra remains determined to secure the role in 'From Here to Eternity', hoping it will salvage his career.
