De vrijgevochten jonge vrouw Hillary betrapt haar vriend met een ander in bed, verlaat hem en komt voor het eerst op eigen benen te staan. Ze gaat in op een personeelsadvertentie en wordt aangeworven als privé-verpleegster van de aan leukemie lijdende rijke jongeman Victor. De job eist veel meerr van haar dan verwacht. Na elke chemotherapiesessie heeft Victor uren durende braakneigingen en daarna valt hij steeds weer in een zwart gat. De onervaren Hillary helpt hem er moedig door. Maar wanneer er ook amoureuze gevoelens komen, worden de problemen verlegd. Centrale vraag wordt dan: kan een mooie, jonge vrouw kiezen voor het leven met een kankerpatiënt?
Nee, helaas is Dying Young nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
