In the summer of 1956, Stevens, Lord Darlington's butler for over three decades, takes a car trip that takes him, for the first time, to remote towns and cities in the English countryside. During the trip, he recalls the events of his previous years of work, discovering himself, his inner world, his reserved nature, his self-denial, and the great things he had dedicated himself to, touching on many of the important events that befell England in the period between the two world wars.
