A few months fresh out of university at seventeen, Isabelle finds her world turned upside down on her when her twin brother, whom she has called her best friend for the entirety of her life, is torn away from her as he accepts a job offer as an interior designer. Much to Isabelle's worry, it isn't long before the challenging work begins to clearly damage her brother's mental health, and so she sets off on a journey away from home to support him by finding her own form of work. On a tireless pursuit for work, Isabelle must learn and experience the crucial lessons of never giving up for any interference, protecting oneself from untrustworthy relationships, and in time, finding one's true self. And above all, she must do it alone.
