| Plot Summary of A Grand Passion |
"Casey goes to Italy to try to forget her husband's tragic death. She doesn't
mean to fall in love, but then she meets Alessandro, a soccer star.
However, Alessandro's fans are against her, and life with a celebrity
suddenly turns into a nightmare when she starts to get threatening phone
calls and rocks thrown through her window. Worse still, when they make love
for the first time a photographer snaps them through the window. Can she
live under that kind of scrutiny? The answer is no, Casey can't stand the
blatant hostility shown by his female admirers. When things start going
wrong, will Casey listen to her heart, or lose a chance at happiness?"
