On Long Island, New York, the rich and mysterious Jay Gatsby has built a grand mansion. All summer, he gives wonderful parties there, filled with dancing girls and handsome men.

However, Gatsby's only hope is that one evening the love of his life, Daisy Buchanan, who lives across the bay, will wander into one of his parties. When he finds out that his new neighbour, Nick Carraway, is Daisy's cousin, Gatsby requests a meeting with his former love.

Gatsby and Daisy quickly rekindle their romance, but Daisy's husband, Tom, soon finds out. Tension rises in the heat, and Tom and Nick discover that there is more to Gatsby than they realized. Can Gatsby win Daisy's love or will she retreat into her privileged world, leaving Gatsby with nothing but lost dreams?
