Charlie Atwood is the creator of "Barmy," a newspaper comic with dwindling readership about the necessity of self-reliance.

Severely injured in a car-bicycle collision, Charlie is forced to face his worst fear: the complete loss of independence.

Amy Murray has her hands full as the home healthcare nurse assigned to Charlie after the first gives up.

Confined to a full-leg cast and virtually immobile, Charlie must reevaluate his thought process and direction of the cartoon, while struggling with a growing fondness for Amy.
