Lunar New Year’s Eve arrives around contract renewal season. Kim Youngju, a corporate contractor, does not receive the usual holiday gift from work so dearly prized by her parents: the luxurious layer cake from Patisserie Lee Jong Yeh. She struggles to secure the coveted cake during the holiday season. With no particular plan, she heads straight to the boulangerie and runs into Choi Heeji, an apprentice patissier who just got kicked out.

Homecoming is about moving forward. It wishes good luck to those marching towards a foggy future whose failures may lead to a series of daring adventures. What pushes us forward are our challenges and failures, as well as those of others.
