At 3:17 in the morning in Ningzhou, there are always some "abnormal" things happening: the wall of the demolished building will cry, the shadow of the cross-river bridge will haunt people, and the pocket watch of the Seventh Mental Hospital will move on its own.
Chen Mo is a madman labeled as "paranoiac", but he can see the words in the shadows and hear the time crying in the gears. When the man in the white coat held a net bag to hunt down the "sequence carrier", and when the "scavenger" wrote the truth into the paper with ink, he discovered that the so-called madness was just a glimpse of another face of the world.
The eyes in the bridge piers, the bones in the watch factory, the ink in the pen repair shop... These "sequences" hidden in the folds of the city are forgotten memories and mirrors of the human heart. Chen Mo and a group of "crazy" friends are using their flesh and blood to fight against the "normal world" that is trying to erase everything.
After all, sometimes crazy courage is the light that pierces through illusion.
