Outline:

One mother’s hatred brings tragedy to two families across three generations.

In the village of Nong Nom Wua in Nakhon Sawan province, bad blood brews between the two neighbouring families of Yam and Aum. Yam blames the death of her husband on Aum’s husband. She takes her vengeance against her young daughter-in-law Umporn, as she is Aum's daughter. She has just given birth to a baby boy, but Yam will stop at nothing to pull the young couple apart, and even resorts to setting a friend’s daughter (Suda) to try to steal her son Prayong from Umporn. Having taken to drink, Prayong dies from alcohol, and a heartbroken Umporn leaves for the city, while Yam keeps the baby. All this while, Umporn’s younger sister Urai also comes under attack, and she is also forced to part with her love Luepong, despite being pregnant.

Ten years pass, and Umporn is remarried to Tawee with two children. She still wants to see the son she had no choice but to leave behind, but Yongyuth has grown up believing Yam’s lies and despises his mother.

In this third generation, Umporn’s son from her second marriage, Tana, falls for the same girl Yongyuth loves, causing a clash between the step-brothers. And to Urai’s dismay, her only daughter Rapeepan and Pawarit, the son of Suda and Prayoon, Yam’s second son, also fall in love. Again the old grudge resurfaces, with Yam in the center of it all...
