Let Down Your Hair

Sang has been locked up in her small attic space since she has been able to wonder why she was stuck up there. Her father, obsessed with her late mother's beautiful golden locks, forced Sang to grow her hair out since she was a baby, those strands now reaching her heels and sometimes brushing the floor. With an obsessive father and a mother who saw her as a curse and a blemish on their family, Sang struggled to survive in the hellish place she had to call home. Her one reprieve? The flower shop on the first floor of their house.

Even as a child, Sang showed creative talent, also including arranging flowers. This didn't go unnoticed by her father and he quickly allowed her down in the flower shop. She enjoyed the daily visits, surrounded by flowers and sunlight, and it soon became her normal. She found her version of freedom in the flower shop on the first floor, where she was allowed to create beautiful and unique bouquets in the secret of their back room. There, she released each bouquet with a piece of herself, imagining them going out into the world she dreamt to see and quenching her desire for connection wherever they were brought.

While arranging flowers in the secret room behind the checkout counter of their flower shop, Sang receives an unexpected visitor who turns her whole life on its head and redefines what her normal is and what she wants it to be. While taking the risk of stepping through the newly opened door, she finds her string of fate tangling with that of fourteen beautiful yet mysterious men. But with a father who's attention refuses to stray from her and a mother who uses threats, lessons, and stories to 'protect' and 'teach' her, will she be able to grasp the hands reaching out to her and fully step through that door? Or will the cold hands of her reality reach through and drag her back into her twisted version of normalcy?
