The story takes place in the United States in the 1980s. Jacob (Steven Yeun), a Korean-American man, moved from the familiar West Coast to the remote and unfamiliar Arkansas with his wife Monica (Han Ye-ri) and two children David (Alan S. Kim) and Anne (Noel Cho). Although Monica was very opposed to her husband's decision, she was unable to overcome Jacob's determination and stubbornness, and was forced to follow her husband. Life in the wilderness was neither comfortable nor interesting. After the initial novelty passed, David and Anne soon began to miss their past lives. Later, the children's grandmother also came to them, bringing a touch of liveliness to the family. What Jacob didn't realize was that as he devoted more and more time and energy to developing the farm, the distance between him and his wife became farther and farther.
