Marianne and Connell live in a small town in Ireland and will be going to college soon. Connell's mother, Lorraine (a high schol drop-out after pregnancy) works as a cleaner at Marianne's house twice a week.

Since Lorraine doesn't have a driver's licence, Connell picks her up from work, and this creates an opportunity for Connell and Marianne to meet.

Marianne is more of an outcast at school whereas Connell is popular at school. In private they are in a complicated relationship and Connell seems more insecure than Marianne.

The two abruptly end their relationship and meet again at uni in Dublin. They resume their relationship, but Connell is feeling a great sense of social inferiority at school. They break up again.

They remain friends and support each other, but in the eyes of others they are so caring for each other that they seem like lovers.

By the time they graduate, Connel has the opportunity to follow a graduate program abroad and Marianne tells him to go and that she will always be there for him.
