En ung kvinde kommer til forlaget Rydéns som praktikant, men bliver hængende og får med tiden større ansvar for forfattere og bøger. Hun ansættes og arbejder tæt sammen med Gunnar, forlagets litterære chef, der står bag forlagets fineste udgivelser i den serie, der hedder Andromeda. Med årene vokser deres arbejdsrelation til noget, som de begge har svært ved at definere. En gang om ugen spiser de frokost sammen på Teaterkælderen. De taler om forlaget og udgivelserne først og fremmest, men også om livet, om kunst, om kærlighed. Måske handler deres forhold om gensidig fortrolighed, måske handler det om noget helt andet. Therese Bohmans nye roman en fortælling om det vigtigste i et menneskes liv. Hvor hun kommer fra, hvor hun er på vej hen, og hvad det indebærer at række ud efter noget, man gerne vil have: en smukkere tilværelse, et andet menneske, den store litteratur.
