Rewind Syndrome

When memory becomes a prison, circulation becomes a curse. Xinhai City in the near future is sunk in the cracks of time. After a bizarre plane crash, some survivors suffered from "rewind syndrome" - being forced to reincarnate in death nodes such as convenience stores on rainy nights, blood-stained subway stations, and mirror mazes. Priceless "memory amber" grows in their skulls, and the silhouetted figures wandering in the dark are wielding scythes to harvest these frozen times. Lin Zhou, a convenience store clerk with dual time and space personalities, is the most special prey in this hunt. Her body is inhabited by a "night owl" from the future. Whenever the electronic clock displays 3:14, the two souls compete for control amidst the pain of spreading time plaques. The plane fragments embedded in his left wrist continue to reveal the truth about his brother's plane crash, and the blood-stained wedding ring that appears inexplicably after each cycle, the heart beating in reverse, and the wound leaking from the clock gears all point to the "Night Owl Agreement" that has been buried deep for fifty years by the Time Administration.
