Plot

Adam Niskar (Aaron Paul) is a hardworking mortgage broker who appears to have it all — a successful career, a supportive family, and close friends. His seemingly perfect life takes a dramatic turn when his boss (Jeff Daniels) offers him a big promotion at work. Caught up in the excitement and under the influence of alcohol, Adam suffers a tragic diving accident that leaves him a quadriplegic.

Struggling to accept his new reality, Adam becomes consumed by anger and despair, believing his life to be over. His relationships begin to deteriorate as he wrestles with his physical limitations and emotional pain. Everything changes when he meets Yevgenia (Lena Olin), a spirited and outspoken Russian nurse who challenges his outlook on life. Through her tough love and support, Adam gradually learns to find hope, rediscover his sense of purpose, and realise that his life is far from over — it has only just begun.
