The story
In early 2016, Charlie is a super-morbidly obese recluse in Moscow, Idaho.
His nurse Liz brings him unhealthy food despite urging him to seek treatment for heart failure, which he claims he cannot afford.
He learns Charlie hopes to reconcile with his estranged teenage daughter Ellie, abandoned eight years earlier when Charlie left his wife Mary for a male student, Alan, whose subsequent death left Charlie grief-stricken.
