Spoilers ahead
In Washington, D.C., a middle-aged man named Chance, who is simple-minded yet undeniably gentle, lives a sheltered life as the gardener in a wealthy old man’s townhouse. He shares the space with the man’s African-American maid Louise, who treats him with unexpected kindness. Chance’s world is tiny and shaped almost entirely by what he sees on television, his knowledge gleaned from screens rather than experience. When the elderly owner dies, his estate lawyers set him on a path toward eviction, forcing Chance to venture beyond the familiar walls for the first time.
