Ever has to learn to dance for an awards ceremony. It wouldn’t actually be too difficult a task if he didn’t loathe physical contact. Ever is autistic; in conversations he usually takes everything literally, he struggles to decipher the facial expressions of those around him, and he has organised his daily life according to strict rules.
This structured life is now being thrown into disarray, because – on the caretaker’s recommendation – he has chosen his neighbour Senga as his dance teacher. Senga, however, has her own problems: following an accident, it is doubtful whether her broken leg will ever heal enough for her to return to work as a dancer. The atmosphere is therefore rather tense when Ever asks his neighbour for lessons, especially as he lacks any sense of empathy in the face of her bleak career prospects, and Senga initially misinterprets the absurdly high fee as an immoral offer. Over the course of a few weeks, the unlikely dance partners grow closer – perhaps even closer than is good for either of them.
