En udfordring til Clarissa

Clarissa er en smuk, velhavende kvinde, der trives bedst i et spind af intriger. Hun har ingen andre lyster end at kontrollere de mennesker, der krydser hendes vej, og manipulere dem til sin egen fordel. Da hun møder den kyniske, dekadente godsejersøn Fitzmaurice, forstår hun, at hun har fundet den perfekte udfordring. Ikke alene er han kold og desillusioneret uden omtanke for andre mennesker, men han lever oven i købet i et kærlighedsløst ægteskab. Clarissa sætter sig for at få ham skilt og selv blive gift med ham, uanset hvor ulykkelig det måske nok vil gøre dem begge.
