In 1913, Connie Reid marries Sir Clifford Chatterley, a wealthy Nottingham colliery owner. However, after returning from World War I disabled and wheelchair-bound, Clifford engages nurse Mrs Bolton to care for him, alienating Connie who longs for intimacy. Despite Clifford's desire for an heir, his impotency leaves Connie unsatisfied. She finds passion in the arms of Oliver Mellors, the gamekeeper her husband hired, who is a former miner. Their affair begins in Oliver's cottage but ends abruptly when Mrs Bolton discovers them. Now carrying Oliver's child, Connie must decide between her privileged yet joyless life with Clifford or an uncertain future with the man she loves.
