Elderly invalid Mrs. Bramson lives in a house in the English countryside. Her adult daughter, Olivia, who is in an unsatisfying marriage, acts as her live-in caregiver. When her housekeeper, Dora, brings Danny, her fiancé, by the house for an "inspection", Mrs. Bramson immediately falls under the spell of the gregarious young man and hires him to be her live-in Jack-of-all-trades. First and foremost, he acts as her playmate. In addition, Olivia has a love-hate fascination with this new man who has entered the household. However, none of the three women know Danny's secret.
