My sister who has been missing for seven years suddenly sends me a faded red lantern with a note saying "Don't light the lantern". College student Lin Xia's curiosity turned out to be the key to opening the door to hell - the moment she lit the lantern, she was dragged into a strange space called "Night Cry Alley". The time here cycles from 23:00 to 3:00 in the morning, and there are twisted rules hidden behind every door:
You must walk with a lantern, otherwise you will be swallowed by darkness;
Do not respond to any calls, otherwise you will be chased by the "lantern man";
The house number of the old house at the end of the lane changes every day, and there is hidden my sister's body and half a map pointing to the truth...
