Spoilers ahead

In 2015, in the fictional city of Xuanyu, a shadowy crisis tightens its grip on the city: a string of child disappearances shocks the community and fragments any sense of safety. The narrative centers on a diligent police officer whose daughter is among the victims, a person who carries grief as a quiet burden and still presses for answers. One night, a mysterious man drives by and phones in a claim that he knows where the officer’s daughter might be. The moment seems like a ray of possibility, but fate intervenes in a brutal, chaotic way: a truck crashes into the man’s car, leaving him severely injured and suffering from amnesia.
