A tender, intimate portrait of a marriage tested by devastating illness, grounded in the real-world struggle between love and the relentless progression of motor neuron disease.

Once a healthy, active young man, Hawking received an earth-shattering diagnosis at 21 years of age. With Jane fighting tirelessly by his side, Stephen embarks on his most ambitious scientific work, studying the very thing he now has precious little of – time.
