1951, Paris. San Francisco socialite Nancy Cooke meets Luis de Herrera, a dashing sports car driver from Argentina who is driving with the American team at Le Mans. It is love at first sight for the couple, but several obstacles keep them apart. After heartbreaking separations and months of uncertainty, they finally marry. Is it happily ever after? Not quite . Nancy's divorce isn't recognized by the strict Catholic country of Argentina, and she struggles to be accepted as de Herrera's wife. But as time passes, Nancy becomes more familiar with the people of Argentina, especially of Juan Peron and his wife, Evita. She witnesses the country's fictitious agony over Evita's illness, and the choreographed, Hollywood-like production mourning her death. Later, Nancy even participates in the revolution to overthrow Peron. But while visiting the United States, Nancy and Luis are exposed to atomic radiation fallout, resulting in Luis's tragic death. Such a horrific event spurs Nancy's search for answers, and begins a new, lifelong spiritual quest that continues to this day. With amazing candor and heartbreaking emotion, "Never Tango with a Stranger" tells Nancy's bittersweet story of love, loss, and illumination, and provides a compelling portrait of the power and strength of the human spirit.
