After a heart attack at 59 and nearly falling from a scaffold, Daniel Blake needs help from the State for the first time in his working life. He crosses paths with a single mother Katie and her two young children, whose only chance to escape a one-roomed homeless hostel in London has been to accept a flat in Newcastle, a city she doesn’t know some 300 miles away. Daniel and Katie find themselves in no-man’s land caught on the barbed wire of welfare bureaucracy as played out against the rhetoric of ‘striver and skiver’ in modern day Britain.
