Žije v uzatvorenej komunite "Malého Talianska" v New Yorku a väčšinu voľného času zabíja poflakovaním spolu s kamarátmi z miestneho gangu. Jedného dňa na trajekte spozná dievčinu, ktorá pochádza z odlišného sveta. Študuje na vysokej škole, zaujíma sa o literatúru, žije sama vo vlastnom byte. Hoci zázemie a výchova týchto dvoch mladých ľudí sú si vzdialené, ich sympatie postupne prerastú do lásky. Keď sa však J.R. dozvie, že jeho priateľka už nie je panna, nedokáže sa s tým vyrovnať a vzťah ukončí. Nepomôžu ani vyznania lásky a vysvetlenie, že v minulosti bola znásilnená. J.R., vychovávaný podľa zásad prísnej katolíckej morálky a vedený k úcte voči ideálu ženy-matky a ženy-panny, sa napriek vlastným citom nedokáže zbaviť predsudkov.
