Hee-soo has been a bestselling author but her reputation and fame are all butchered overnight when she is accused of plagiarizing a competition entry that she juried. She falls into despair for 2 years, but with the help of her friend publisher, she dreams of a spectacular comeback. She drives to a remote pension with her daughter Yun-hee. At this quiet pension, Yun-hee begins talking to an unidentified figure. Dying for a new source of inspiration, Hee-soo turns the stories that Yun-hee hears from this figure into her new book, which turns into a bestseller. But her regained fame doesn’t last long as she is again accused of plagiarizing a novel that was published 10 years ago. —The Film Catalogue
