A local farmer Liane works diligently on her Japanese cucumber farm with only the help of her husband Boun, and her grandson Aiden, who she has raised since he was a small child due to the early separation of his parents. As Aiden works on the farm with his grandma, he learns more about her history as a Laotian-American immigrant. Aiden and Liane have grown close as they both work together to continue to save up enough money for Liane to eventually return to her homeland of Laos, where she can be closer to her children after 20 years.
