Carmela, a young aristocrat, refuses an arranged marriage and is sent to a convent. Her arrival sparks tension between two powerful nuns: Elizabeth, who maintains a decadent lifestyle with her influential family's support and harbors sapphic desires for Carmela; and the stern Mother Superior, who also takes a liking to Carmela's beauty. The power struggle intensifies as both women vie for Carmela's affections.
