"A somewhat uncomfortable, yet special convenience store — ultimately, it's our story." 

While living on the streets near Seoul Station, a homeless man named Dokgo crosses paths with Yum Young-suk, a woman in her 70s, after returning her lost wallet.That chance encounter leads him to a night shift job at her convenience store, "Always," in Cheongpa-dong. Though he suffers from alcohol-related dementia and his speech and movements are awkward, Dokgo has a mysterious ability to win over customers and those around him, gradually becoming a steady and dependable presence who watches over the convenience store at night.
The store brings together an unlikely cast:
▪ Yum Young-suk — the store owner, a retired high school history teacher
▪ Si-hyeon — a part-timer in her 20s struggling to find a full-time job
▪ Oh Sun-suk — a part-timer in her 50s working out of necessity
▪ Kyung-man — an office worker who drinks his troubles away each night at the outdoor table with a "Cham Cham Cham" set
▪ In-kyung — a playwright who has come to Cheongpa-dong as if it were her last chance to write 

Each carries the weight of their own reality and as they watch Dokgo more closely, they each begin to see him through the lens of their own struggles.
