The story takes place in the United States in the mid-20th century. Daisy, who was a teacher when she was young and now lives a rich life in retirement, drives too risky because of her age. Her son hires him a new driver, Hawke. Self-respecting and unwilling to change her life, Daisy thinks she can drive a car as easily as she used to, but her son insists on paying for her to hire Hawk to serve her for her safety.
Dissatisfied with this matter, Daisy has always been very indifferent to the driver Hawke, and will not let the new driver take her. No matter what Hawke does to please her, she is asked to stop it. Knowing that Hawke could not help following Daisy at last when she went out, Daisy reluctantly used his car to go to the supermarket for fear of being ridiculed by the neighbors for not sitting in her car. Hawke's work is finally on track.
Daisy really agreed that Hawke was on a small misunderstanding. Daisy woke up in the morning and found that there was one less canned food in the kitchen. She thought that Hawke was not a disorderly person. She called her son in the morning to denounce Hawke in person. . When Hawke came to work, he offered to buy a can of canned food and returned it to Daisy. In the end, it turned out that Hawke was not only responsible for his work, but also a measured person.
Daisy began to accept Hawke's people from here, and the friendship between the two began to slowly rise. Hawke's generosity, optimism, and humor brought a lot of laughter to Daisy's life and helped her in many things.
Hawke reassured Daisy one morning because of her memory loss. It was only when Daisy found out that Hawke had accompanied her for 20 years, only to realize that Hawke had become his best friend.
Even when Daisy was hospitalized and did not need a driver, Hawkeren would go to the hospital to visit Daisy, and the sunset friendship between the two continued.
