No Man of Her Own

In a bleak New York winter, a desperate, expectant mother steps onto a doomed train with only a crumpled five‑dollar bill and a one‑way ticket to San Francisco. The catastrophe that follows blurs the line between tragedy and chance, leaving her indistinguishable from a wealthy woman who perished in the same wreck. Thrust into an elegant, tightly‑knit household, she is offered a life of comfort she never imagined, yet every polished hallway whispers with the weight of an unseen secret.

The story follows Helen Ferguson, whose quiet resolve masks a fierce determination to protect her unborn child. As she navigates the opulent world of the Harkness family, she encounters Bill Harkness, a composed and thoughtful young man whose own sense of duty conflicts with the burgeoning affection he feels for the woman masquerading as a lost relative. Their tentative connection is colored by the family’s protective, almost possessive, guardianship, creating a delicate dance between gratitude, attraction, and the fear of being discovered.

Meanwhile, the lingering presence of Stephen Morley—the unreliable lover who set Helen on this path—casts a lingering shadow. His re‑emergence threatens to unravel the fragile stability she has found, reminding her that the past does not easily stay buried. The film balances a moody, atmospheric tone with moments of quiet intimacy, allowing the audience to feel both the claustrophobic pressure of a false identity and the fragile hope that love and redemption might still be possible within the gilded walls of the Harkness estate.
