All Chulyong ever wanted was to sing. But dreams don’t pay rent, and now he’s stuck working part-time at a fish market, wondering when it all slipped through his fingers. One delivery gone wrong - a house, a famous composer, a bad first impression. Ruth touches him like he’s an instrument, and Chulyong, who’s had enough of life playing him, hits back - literally.
