Working at a high-powered consultancy in London, Grace relishes having an outlet for her relentless ambition. When her young body collapses in invisible pains, she becomes desperate for answers – but the doctors can’t find anything wrong.
As time stretches out and her body still confines her to bed, she relies on social media and visits from her adventurous boyfriend Matt and fiercely competitive best friend Jas to connect her to the outside world. But as persistent physical pains continue to engulf her, her relationships start to fray.
Feeling increasingly lonely, Grace becomes even more desperate to heal. When she discovers a chronically ill social media influencer, she's buoyed by hope that recovery is possible, while beginning to question her assumptions about relationships, love and what it means to live a full life.
