The series follows Marianne and Connell through their time at secondary school in County Sligo on Ireland's Atlantic coast, and later as undergraduates at Trinity College Dublin.
The focus is mainly Connell's and Marianne's complex relationship.
Among her peers at secondary school Marianne is regarded as an oddball,
though she rejects having any care for social standing. Despite her
academic achievements, her home life is complicated by her dismissive
mother, Denise, and resentful brother, Alan. Her father is deceased and
is revealed to have been a domestic abuser, though her family avoids
mentioning him. Connell is a high-achieving athletic student living with
his single mother Lorraine, who is employed by Denise as a cleaner. He
is popular in the school community, though he is diminished by remaining
silent during the bullying of Marianne. This creates complexity as
their relationship develops.
