New York might be at the top of the list of cities most frequently used as settings for stories or films. In several Hollywood films, from Nora Ephron’s You’ve Got Mail to Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver, New York isn’t just a setting but appears as a “character” that brings the story to life.

To this city, Raia, a writer, seeks inspiration after being unable to string together a single sentence for so long.

Raia turns every corner of New York into her “office.” Walking through Brooklyn to Queens, she searches for fragments of stories in every inch, in the people who pass her by, in the conversations she overhears, in the fleeting glances that connect with her eyes for a moment or two. Yet even after doing this every day, accompanied by falling yellowing leaves and snowflakes whitening the city, Raia’s laptop screen remains empty of stories.

Until she finally meets someone who teaches her to see this city in a different light. Someone who also harbors secrets she never expected.
