A young and promising lawyer Kim In Seo (Kim Min Jong) goes to a
dockyard to investigate a case relating to intellectual property rights. In Seo
sees Hwa Yeon (Kim You Mi), a female worker who acts just like her male
colleagues. One day she gets drunk and he carries her home on his back.

There In Seo meets Hwa Yeon's mother, who is paralyzed, and Hwa Yeon's
grandmother, who delights in telling him stories about how the family grows
palm trees in the remote mountain areas where the plant cannot normally
survive.

Told in flashback, In Seo hears how Hwa Yeon's grandmother married a
local fisherman, only to then discover that he had a daughter, Jung Soon
(Also played by Kim You Mi) , just two years younger than herself. Her
husband regularly beat her up, but she and Jung Soon became good friends.
However, the good days did not last long...
