Sick Note is the story of Daniel Glass, a compulsive liar. Just when things couldn't get any worse for him, he's diagnosed with esophageal cancer. But owing to the diagnosis, Daniel finds those around him begin treating him better.
However, Daniel then finds out he was misdiagnosed, leaving him with a big decision. He can come clean and go back to his old rubbish life, or keep this new information a secret and pretend to be ill.
Daniel decides to go for the latter option and lie, but very quickly the mis-truths spiral out of control and both Daniel and Dr Glennis who diagnosed him have to spend all of their waking lives trying to prevent the truth from getting out.
Rupert Grint, best known for playing Ron in the Harry Potter films, takes on the lead role of Daniel, with Nick Frost playing Dr Ian Glennis, "the most incompetent oncologist on Earth".
