There is a sea view hotel at No. 31 Hanging West Road, run by Maeve, an old woman who is over seventy years old. There is something unusual about this hotel, both the staff and the guests are mostly disabled people. Maeve has guarded the Seaview Inn for more than half a century. However, the peaceful days were finally broken by the visit of Vincent, who was familiar with Maeve's past. The story begins to travel back and forth in Maeve's memory. Maeve has a twin sister named Edie. Edie is innocent, kind, and has a heavenly singing voice, but she has always been clumsy and noisy because she has Down syndrome. Maeve's parents were determined not to entrust Edie to the care of a mental hospital. They ignored the narrow prejudices and accusations of the world and provided equal attention to the two sisters as much as possible. However, after her mother passed away, her helpless father chose to send Edie to a convent, despite Maeve's objections, and Maeve's fate began to change dramatically...
