When Yeon-hwa loses her grandmother, the proprietor of the Hwawoldang, she honours her final wish: to keep the shop open for one more month, between the hours of 10pm and midnight. She has never learnt to make the traditional desserts herself, and hopes to learn more about her grandmother in the process. On her very first day at work, she is soon interrupted by one of her grandmother's most regular visitors, who hints that Hwawoldang is no ordinary pastry shop, and its customers not entirely alive. With each new visitor, Yeon-hwa is drawn deep into their memories. The true calling of the patry shop is to shepherd its customers into the afterlife, but can Yeon-hwa continue her grandmother's legacy? And will the task bring her closer to the woman she barely knew?
