With its book-filled shelves and wafts of delicious food from the café, Soyangri Book Kitchen offers its guests a true escape: the warm embrace of an overnight bookstay. Over one year, as the seasons change, seven people at a turning point in their lives find their way to Yoojin’s door. Among them are a singer grappling with an identity crisis, a promising lawyer confronted with a daunting medical diagnosis, and a young musical director whose dreams have been stifled.

As they arrive in Soyangri, each of them will find their life subtly transformed by the magic of its books and the kindness of its people.
