In this gripping series, we follow the life of Bunga, a spirited young woman of Thai Chinese-Malay descent, who works rubber plantations in the southern reaches alongside her grandmother. Tragically, her grandmother, under deceptive pretenses, is coaxed into a loan agreement by a cunning man, placing Bunga in a perilous situation where she's expected to become his mistress to repay the debt.

Determined to escape this grim fate, Bunga manages to flee, embarking on a journey that leads her to the vibrant province of Pattani. There, amidst the cultural tapestry of her journey, she encounters Tawan, sparking a romance that blossoms amidst the challenges they face.

Destiny, however, has a rocky path laid out for them. When Bunga's grandmother falls gravely ill, the young couple finds themselves racing back only to be hounded by the ruthless lender.
