Camilla Portman is a Korean-American adoptee who was adopted in the United States when she was 6 months old. She becomes a novelist and signs a contract with a New York publisher, agreeing to write a work of nonfiction on the subject of finding her roots.

With those objects to guide her, she goes around asking questions, but people treat her coldly.
