During the U.S. Vietnam War, Boon Rawd, a feisty young woman returns to her hometown to seek solace and work after she is violated by her employer. Back home, she realises many women have out of financial desperation become rent wives for the American soldiers at the military airbase near her village. She is determined not to go down the same route but faces harsh insults and misunderstandings from those around her when she develops a genuine bond with Robert Harry, the head mechanic of the airbase. The film is based on a popular novel, Phu Ying Khon Nan Chue Boonrod (1980), by the prominent Thai female author Supa Sirisingh (who went by the pseudonym Botan).
