What exactly does the barrier protect? Is the so-called "hope" the biggest lie carefully crafted?
When a scavenger accidentally glimpses the horrific truth beyond the barrier, when a gangster who dreams of promotion discovers that he is just the chosen scapegoat, when an apprentice who cleans his memory finds that he has personally tampered with the tragedy of a loved one... The fragile order begins to collapse.
From the cold-blooded memory connoisseur to the insensitive corpse cleaner, from the self-proclaimed noble cemetery guard to the lighthouse boy who grew up in lies, countless destinies are intertwined in this melting pot of despair. They struggled, betrayed, became numb or awakened. Without exception, they used their own flesh and blood and souls to add fuel to this cold city.
Until one day, the fuel is about to run out, and the light of the barrier begins to flicker...
