In the city shrouded in night, prosperity and loneliness coexist. Cen Zhaoxi, a young woman haunted by the shadows of the past, walked into Shen Yanbai's psychological clinic on a rainy night with thunder and lightning. A power outage revealed her long-hidden trauma - the fear of phone calls, the nightmare of fire, and the mysterious harassing phone calls that rang at exactly two o'clock every night, with only the sound of dead electricity in the receiver.
Shen Yanbai, as a psychiatrist, is supposed to be a healer, but he is also burdened with unknown secrets. His time is rushed by the countdown crisis. When he opened Cen Zhaoxi's medical records, the twisted paintings and clues about the fire in the welfare home made him realize that the fate of the two people may have been intertwined in the disaster many years ago.
As the treatment progressed, the clues gradually became clear: the phone harassment coincided with the fire, and the phone booths and burning hands that appeared frequently in the paintings seemed to tell the truth that was buried back then. Every diagnosis and treatment is a spiritual game and an accumulation of trust. Under the guidance of Shen Yanbai, Cen Zhaoxi began to face his fear, while Shen Yanbai, on the way to pursue the truth, kept getting closer to the past that he also wanted to forget.
When the truth is about to surface, a shocking reversal awaits them. Can this story about redemption and self-redemption finally find an exit in the darkness, or will it be swallowed up by deeper secrets?
At the end of the story, what arrives before the truth is farewell.
