In the remote Blackwater Village, the Yin family is like an isolated island, shrouded in a series of strange events and surrounded by endless haze. Yin Guangde, the master of the Yin family, is nearly fifty years old. Although he has nine sons, none of them can escape the fate and grow up healthily. Whenever a new life comes, it is always accompanied by inexplicable diseases and misfortunes, as if there is an invisible hand stretching out quietly in the darkness, ruthlessly devouring these innocent little lives.
Finally, on a dark and windy night for a month, the tenth child, Yin Shi, came into the world with a mysterious and ominous atmosphere. His arrival did not bring any joy or celebration. Instead, it was like a meteorite that hit the villagers' already fragile nerves, exacerbating their panic and uneasiness. Because, at the moment when Yin Shi was born, the first nine children died one after another in the same night, as if summoned by some mysterious power. Their fire of life was quietly extinguished in the darkness, as if they were swallowed by a curse.
