When Lin Xia accidentally touches the gold-embossed movie ticket and steps into Midnight Screening Room, thick with the stench of blood, she is plunged into a deadly game called the Infinite Corridor. Here, every film is a test of life and death. Fear takes physical form as lethal traps, and anyone who fails becomes a restless spirit trapped forever on film.
After she encounters Lu Chen, a mysterious man wearing a half-face mechanical mask, she learns that he is cold and guarded, yet hiding secrets. He gives Lin Xia survival tips even as he faces a bizarre crisis of his own: he is slowly turning transparent. From the qipao-clad female ghost crawling out of a black-and-white silent film to a familiar school crest appearing on a reel played in reverse, seemingly unsolvable puzzles conceal the cruel truth that the audience are the actors.
Amid the carnage where light and shadow intertwine, Lin Xia and Lu Chen join forces to decipher the deadly rules, only to discover that the rewards of survival points are bait for an even deeper conspiracy. Fear is both enemy and weapon; truth is both salvation and abyss. Can they tear through this illusory screen and find their way home amid the endless cycle of reincarnation?
