Whenever Lin Jianhe, a new hire at a funeral home, stitches up a corpse's wounds, he reads the deceased's memories from the final three minutes of their life. When he discovers the same set of aerospace coordinates flashing repeatedly across the retinas of the seventh “suicide” victim, a woman frozen in the depths of a cold-storage unit for twenty years suddenly opens her eyes.
