When the shadow of the "Dark Plague" enveloped the world, the remote Silent Town became an isolated island forgotten by the world. The infected person begins to lose the sense of touch at his fingertips, gradually becomes a body that has no sense of pain and cannot sense temperature, and finally suffocates in complete darkness and dies. Doctor Lin Lan, with her obsession for her missing sister, frantically searched for an antidote in a clinic where disinfectant and despair intertwined; volunteer Chen Mo carried a rusty iron gun to maintain order on the streets without water and electricity, and used his hoarse voice to soothe the increasingly out-of-control crowds.
When the townspeople begin to doubt each other, when the last generator goes out, and when Lin Lan discovers that the plague is related to the ancient mineral veins beneath the town, they must make a choice between preserving humanity and saving lives. And those infected who disappeared in the darkness seemed to be whispering in the shadows of the town in another form.
