She does everything for everyone, only to learn that it still isn’t enough.

An old apartment building in Singapore is about to be demolished. But twenty-eight-year-old Jie-Li and her parents can’t afford a new place. When her job as a nurse becomes increasingly difficult, Jie-Li fears she can no longer support her ailing parents.

Thankfully, Mr. Kwok, a former neighbor, appears, offering Jie-Li good money to retrieve a family treasure he had left behind. Jie-Li charms her way into the apartment next door, where an American artist now lives, a naïve young man who aspires to travel the world. But as Jie-Li spends time in the apartment, repressed childhood memories of her painting pictures with Mr. Kwok begin to surface, forcing her to lose sight of her quest to save her family.

Will Jie-Li recover the treasure and stop her family from becoming homeless? Or will the truth behind her early years scar her for the rest of her life?
