Eight years ago, during a scorching April, the rats of Hexi City seemed to go mad. They stood upright like people and even spoke in human voices. Inside the empty first-floor apartment that Fan Jingjing was preparing to rent out, the floor and walls were covered in blood and flesh. The floor had been carefully cleaned, and the police found only one clue: the blood and flesh belonged to rats that had once fought here...
Amid the rumors, Fan Jingjing and her mother left Hexi. Eight years later, she returned, determined to uncover the truth and avenge her cat, Ake, who had been killed by rats.
