Iris' existence is monotonous and colourless; at least that's what she thinks.

Suffering through unrelenting harassment at school and an increasingly pugnacious home life with bickering parents, Iris yearns for some peace and quiet or at least a life with purpose and meaning.

With no end in sight to the monotony, Iris tries to block out the noise, until one day when she receives a letter in the mail, from an secret admirer. Suspicious of the intentions at first, Iris is careful to interpret the meanings of each word of supposed kindness, but as the letters continue to arrive each Monday at 6pm, she begins to realise that maybe she does have someone who cares for her after all, even despite them being a stranger.

When her admirer is finally revealed, Iris' relief is short lived when she suffers the agonizing truth.
