In the entr’acte between World Wars, Stevens is the perfect English butler at the estate of Lord Darlington. Stevens’s obsessively dutiful, thoroughly unsentimental way of life is disrupted by the arrival of new housekeeper Miss Kenton, who is as spirited as she is capable. Stevens’s myopic worldview—and unequivocal loyalty to his master—comes to blows with Miss Kenton’s sense of moral outrage when Lord Darlington is made an unwitting Nazi pawn.
