When forensic pathologist Su Yan's scalpel opens the chest of a victim in a serial murder case, the painstakingly recreated wound tattoo and the files from a decade-old cold case both seep red with blood. They point to a coordinate in the depths of his mind, a memory that was erased.
The instant police captain Lin Wan presses her service pistol to his temple, the murder weapon that vanished from the cold room is found engraved with his fingerprints.
The perfume of three beautiful women hangs over the crime scene. The lipstick mark of a highly intelligent mistress is stamped on a key evidence bag. And the final image captured in the victim's pupils is none other than Su Yan, holding a bloodstained compass as he stands at the edge of a cliff.
