When young woman Yeon-hwa loses her grandmother, the proprietor of Hwawoldang, she honours her final wish: to keep the shop open for one more month, between 10pm and midnight. Yeon-hwa hopes to learn the secrets behind Hwawoldang’s desserts, and the woman who made them.

But when one of the shop’s most loyal patrons arrives, Yeon-hwa discovers Hwawoldang is no ordinary pastry shop, as its customers are not entirely alive . . .

With each new visitor, Yeon-hwa is drawn into their memories. The true calling of the pastry shop is to shepherd her customers into the afterlife. Can Yeon-hwa continue her grandmother’s legacy, and learn more about her?
