Kam's mother Lehue is a traditional housewife and spends her life taking care of her paralyzed husband and her children, who either stays unmarried or covets the inheritance. In order to ease her burden, Lehue arranges a marriage between Kam and a young Vietnamese woman Kimki, who comes to Taiwan to make money so as to offer her child in Vietnam a better life.

In this out-of-control countryside, Kimki and Kam ask nothing but simple happiness. Will they find a way to satisfy their wishes?
