Failed poet Toby Dobbs owns a huge mansion, which he turned into a kind of hostel. All its residents are very different, but they have one thing in common - within these walls they are waiting out difficult times. And then a series of unexpected events forces Toby to sell the house. To free it from its inhabitants, Toby undertakes to solve the problems of his friends. Leah, the girl who lives across the street, volunteers to help him with this venture, but their plan is not so easy to translate into reality.
