Enter Mrs. Yeom, a retired teacher turned convenience-store owner, who, upon discovering Dokgos act of kindness in returning her wallet, offers him a meal as a token of her gratitude. Their chance encounter blossoms into an unexpected alliance when the mans bravery saves the store from ruin, earning him not just a job but a place in the heart of the neighbourhood.

But just when things are looking up for Dokgo, Mrs. Yeoms troubled son, eager to sell the store, hires a detective to dig into the mysterious mans past and unearth what he seems to be trying so hard to forget . . .

The Second Chance Convenience Store is a moving and joyful story of a woman fighting for her community and a man who has lost everything, except the will to try again.
