In the harsh, bandit-ridden terrain of northeastern province, Janet's world is crumbling. A top-performing student with a bright future, her life takes a turn when her only supporter—her father—is hospitalized, leaving her to fend for herself. Alone in a fragile hut, she faces impossible choices: obey strict school rules or fight to survive.

When a desperate decision jeopardizes her school's chance at a prestigious math contest, Janet becomes the target of anger and betrayal. Even her hard-won victory at the competition feels tainted as whispers of her "misbehavior" threaten to strip her of a life-changing opportunity.

As secrets unravel and tensions escalate, Janet must confront not only her struggles but also the shadowy connections between her family and her strict yet compassionate teacher. Will the truth redeem her, or will it shatter everything she's fought for?
