The film is a true story based on the autobiographical notes of California-based journalist and poet Mark O'Brien. Mark survived polio and spent most of his life on a respirator. At the age of 38, he decides on an unlikely venture, namely to taste the emotional and physical passions that have so far eluded him. With the blessing of his priest, he sets out to make his dream come true and hires a professional: a sex surrogate, who will enable him to taste intimacy in his own unique way.
