Dongbaek, an orphan and single mother, owns a small bar sharing her name — a name which translates to camellia (a small, flowering tree) in English. Dongbaek's life takes a new turn after meeting Yongsik, a do-gooder police officer in their small town. Yongsik, having been raised by a single mom himself, understands Dongbaek’s challenges and embraces her dearly. The two fall in love despite social stigma against single parenthood.
