Me Before You (Movie Tie-In)

Louisa Clark lives a predictable life in a small English town until she loses her cafe job and becomes a companion for Will Traynor. Will, once a wealthy high-altitude adventurer, is now a quadriplegic following a road accident. Dealing with his bitter outlook and physical limitations, Louisa eventually discovers that Will has set a six-month deadline to end his life at a Swiss clinic. She orchestrates a series of outings and experiences to change his mind, forcing both characters to confront the realities of physical disability and the ethics of assisted suicide.
