Park Jimin was a historian with a promising academic future, but his involvement in a scandal led to the loss of his job, public disgrace, and the collapse of his love life. He took refuge in his hometown in rural California, where he teaches online, collects books, and despairs about his future.
Min Yoongi also lost his job-a bullet halted his career in law enforcement. As he recovers from his knee injury, he reconsiders his job prospects and seeks the courage to come out to his close-knit, conservative extended family.
In an effort to manage his large book collection, Jimin builds a small library in his front yard.
This project allows him to connect with his neighbors, for better or for worse, and introduces him to the handsome and charming Yoongi
While romance quickly blossoms between them, Jimin doesn't want to hide and take his best professional opportunities away. His books tell him a lot about history, but they give him no insight into his future with Yoongi.
