Eighteen-year-old Woo-hyun stumbles upon a mysterious note tucked inside a library book, bearing his friend’s name.

Bewildered, they meet a mysterious librarian who explains the rules: within fourteen days, the lending period, they must make a crucial choice that could change the fate of the person whose life they inhabit.
