Two PhD researchers at the University of Edinburgh — once close, separated by class divide and words never spoken — are forced to work together in opposing labs. Lin Sicheng, a fourth-year Taiwanese PhD student carrying his supervisor's legacy like armor, and Song Yutong, a brilliant first-year from mainland China proving she belongs in a world that doubts her, must navigate academic rivalry, cultural tension, and the wreckage of a past neither has fully faced. As Edinburgh's long winters close in, they discover that the wounds they built their ambitions around were never really about success — and that staying, this time, is a choice they have to make on purpose.
