Mi-yeong is a TV station writer. After a long absence, she is commissioned to write two short screenplays for two different directors. In-seok, a box office movie director, and Kyeong-sik, an independent movie director. She's racking her brains to upgrade herself from being a composition writer to a screenwriter, but her writing sucks.

With not much time left until the first deadline, she eventually pushes herself into her studio with a drastic measure.
