Prince Wilhelm adjusts to life at his prestigious new boarding school, Hillerska, but following his heart proves more challenging than anticipated.

Eighteen-year-old Nawa is a rural boy who grew up with the river and competitive longboat rowing. He has a dream of rowing his father's boat to provincial championship victory, but an issue brings him to stop playing the sport and separate from his friends.

When Nawa starts his first year of university, he meets Pai, a fellow science major with a determination to become a rower for the national canoeing team and a dream to eventually compete in the Olympics. Meeting Pai leads Nawa to take up the paddle again. When by happenstance Nawa joins a canoeing club, Nawa feels he begins to know himself again.
