Bai, a recent college graduate, is tricked into accepting a job in a remote village, only to be sold to a peasant family.

As she struggles to survive, Bai finds solace in the letters she smuggles to her father and the small amount of money she manages to save. Amidst the village's cruelty, a teacher shows kindness, offering a glimmer of hope for Bai's future.
