Ben, a middle-aged man who has recently experienced a devastating personal tragedy, decides to become a caregiver as a way to earn money and rediscover purpose in his life. His first client is Trevor, a witty and intelligent 18-year-old with muscular dystrophy.

Although initially skeptical of each other, Ben and Trevor gradually form a unique bond. Ben becomes fascinated with Trevor's sharp wit and dark sense of humor, while Trevor appreciates Ben's willingness to treat him as a person rather than simply a patient. They develop a mutually beneficial relationship, as Ben helps Trevor with his physical needs while Trevor helps Ben heal emotionally.

One day, Trevor expresses a strong desire to go on a road trip to visit his estranged father in Salt Lake City. Ben, stepping out of his comfort zone, decides to take on the challenge and plans a journey across the western states. Along the way, they encounter various obstacles that test both their physical and emotional limits.

As they travel, Ben and Trevor collect a unique group of individuals who join them on their adventure. They meet Dot, a runaway teenager who has a knack for shoplifting, and Peaches, a young woman with a tragic past who is trying to find her place in the world. These characters bring their own set of challenges and life lessons, teaching Ben and Trevor the importance of embracing the unpredictability of life.

Throughout the trip, Ben and Trevor unravel their own layers of vulnerability and realize the importance of hope and true friendship. Ben learns to overcome his grief and find solace in the present, while Trevor discovers the strength within himself to defy the limitations of his condition.

The Fundamentals of Caring beautifully explores themes of empathy, connection, and the power of human resilience. It ultimately shows that in the face of tragedy, there can be a renewed sense of purpose and a chance for healing.
