Roisaithong is an orphan girl who was adopted by Rungrorng's father, and upon his father's death was looked after by him. When Roisaithong discovered that Rungrorng viewed her in a romantic way and not as a sister, she begins to attempt to run away. However... this task seems to be quite difficult since Rungrorng is always around her and watching her. This drama is about a young girl's journey of escaping her benefactor who is sexually perverted and has caused her a lot of trauma. Will Roisaithong be able to change her life?

🏳️‍🌈 It's an intense dramatic lakorn about obsession and toxic family dynamics, not a chick-cheek romance. It's a rather dark psychological and family drama where the homosexuality of one of the protagonists is presented in a very complex and conflicted way.
