Raynor Winn and her husband, Moth, who has been diagnosed with degenerative corticobasal degeneration, are evicted from their farm and home after investing in a friend's business venture, despite presenting evidence that could have prevented their eviction. Destitute and with their only source of income £40 weekly Working Tax Credit, they decide to walk the 1000km South West Coast Path, as detailed in Paddy Dillon's guidebook, The South West Coast Path. Beginning in Minehead, they trek around the coasts of Somerset, Devon, Cornwall, and Dorset to Poole, on the way coming to terms with the shame associated with homelessness and the scorn of some people they meet, while others offer sympathy and assistance. As they walk, Moth slowly grows in strength.
As winter draws in they meet Polly, who offers them to stay in her shed if they will renovate it for her. While spending winter there Polly arranges a job for Raynor helping shear sheep, which brings in money for the couple. Moth decides to study sustainable farming, with the aim of securing a student loan the couple can live on. The couple complete the walk and are offered accommodation by a stranger, while Moth finishes his studies and both worked in agriculture. Ray writes up her travel notes and publishes her book The Salt Path, which beomes a bestseller.
