She is rescued by an American soldier Hector, who brings her to a camp in Seoul. Sylvie, the wife of the missionary of the orphanage offers love as a soothing balm to both Hector and June. But Sylvie herself is a victim of a difficult past. June travels to the US and builds a business in New York. She is estranged from her husband and child. Thirty years later, June sets out on a journey with Hector to confront her past, his past, both irretrievably linked to Sylvie.
