Mark and Claire seem an ideal couple. He is an accountant, she the daughter of a successful businessman, and they live in a comfortable middle-class village in Surrey. At a garden party to celebrate their daughter’s baptism, their son Jeremy is knocked down on the road outside when chasing after an escaped rabbit. He survives, but to all intents as a vegetable. He is unable to speak, only grunt, and is spoon-fed and propped up each day in front of a television. The once ideal marriage is troubled by the stress and pressure caused by Jeremy’s state of health. It is a touching story of a family's unrelenting love through struggle.
