Spoilers ahead
In the midst of a life that has become a mere shadow of its former vibrancy, Will Traynor becomes acquainted with Louisa “Lou” Clark, a ray of hope brought into his world as a caregiver. Hired to attend to Will’s needs as he navigates his new reality as a tetraplegic, Lou’s cheerful disposition is seen by his mother as a potential remedy for Will’s deep-seated depression, which has been eroded by the harsh truths of his situation. At first, Will is standoffish with Lou, but there’s a richness to his character that starkly contrasts with the simplicity of Lou’s life, shared with her parents and boyfriend, Patrick.
