In 1930, nine days after the Red Army occupied Changsha, it decided to preserve its strength by beginning to move its forces to rural revolutionary bases.
The Kuomintang sends Tian Kunzhi to the newly recaptured city of Changsha, intending to root out every Communist underground courier still operating there.
A covert struggle begins: one side hunts for the underground couriers, while the couriers risk everything to get information about the enemy out.
A midnight-snack chef, a female doctor returned from abroad, the eldest daughter of the Liu family, a renowned opera singer, the young heir to a crime syndicate, a fishing village chief...
Though they are women, with China on the brink of ruin, they are willing to risk their lives for the future of their nation!
