In Hangzhou in 1998, a humid heat wave intertwined with a biting cold. A series of strange and murderous crimes were like dormant insects, quietly breeding in old alleys, scrap stations, wealthy gardens and other corners - an old man living alone was found dead in an old building, and the scene was filled with suspicion; a broken body was found in the bicycle basket, and the chain was wrapped with bloody secrets; a girl was killed, and her internal organs turned out to be " "Breakfast" presentation... Tao Yi, captain of the city's criminal investigation team, and retired soldier Qin Heng led the team into the mystery. From the 42-size diamond-shaped shoe prints, the "big front door" cigarette butts to the precise incisions of human skin peeling off, the murderer committed the crime with an almost paranoid sense of ritual. Each case is like a rusty gear, leaving traces of misalignment on the chain of the times. When the yellowed files reveal the hidden pain of the laid-off wave and the struggles of the small people in the market, when the newcomer Liang Shizhi grows up in a pool of blood, Tao Yi and Qin Heng develop a tacit understanding while chasing the murderer side by side, the hidden subtleties of human nature and the resentment crushed by the times are like "insects" in the dark, gnawing at the shell of the truth. In the maze of technological limitations and human hearts, can justice penetrate the fog and make dormant evil invisible?
