On a spring night, as the plum tree blooms outside, a writer sits up reading his notebooks, letters and scraps of paper, resolved to clear away the skeletons of memory that haunt him. The dead seem to keep watch: Nur Hanım, the letters and suicide of Halil Vedad, the solitary Madam Ester, the grief he once shared with Gülderen Hanım in Yeşilyurt. Every garden and flower he recalls marks a parting.
