Will Traynor was a high achieving and wealthy man who enjoyed life to its fullest, whether this was his successful and demanding job, the many adventures he had experienced, or his equally successful girlfriend. However, he becomes permanently disabled due to an unfortunate road accident.
Two years later, Louisa Clark loses her job at the local café "The Buttered Bun". She is a 26-year-old, unambitious woman with very few qualifications. Louisa lives with her working-class family and is constantly outshone by her younger, more intelligent sister, Treena, who is a single mother. Her parents become disappointed because the entire family depends on her wage. Louisa goes to the Job Centre where Syed, the Job Centre assistant, finds a unique position: look after a disabled man. Despite no prior experience, Louisa is hired by Camilla Traynor, the mother of Will, because she thinks her son needs someone able to brighten his spirits. Louisa notices how falsely everyone is acting in Granta House, Will's family mansion. She later finds out that Mr. Traynor, Will's father, has an extra-marital relationship. Will becomes more communicative and open-minded during his time with Louisa acting as his caregiver.
