Right from the beginning I liked the snarky tone.
Benjamin Benjamin (yes that's really his name) has become a caregiver. He is living in a crappy apartment, his savings is just about gone, his credit cards are almost maxed out and his marriage is over. He hasn't really worked in a long time and this is his last ditch attempt to get his life together.
When he gets a job taking care of Trev, a young man with MD he gets much more than he bargained for. He goes on a figurative and literal journey towards figuring out where he went wrong and it isn't where he thought it would be.
As he tells you his story in the present Ben also tells you what happened with his marriage in the form of flashbacks and it is heartbreaking. Ben isn't a bad guy, he's just an average joe with a broken heart and a sarcastic manner.
