He then becomes a security guard in an office and meets a maid, an introverted girl named Jin who obsessively cleans and reads a mysterious white book that she can't understand. Pod, a man with no dreams, is drawn to Jin. He changes jobs again, to a taxi driver, to help her out. However, Pod will have to take a backseat to Jin's other obsessive natures.
