When the city fell into an unprovoked collective madness, strange luminous veins appeared on the surface of the buildings. Detective Zhang Wenshao discovered that all of this was secretly connected to his graduation project nineteen years ago. During the investigation, he had to form an alliance with a cold and deadly clone killer Su Jiangting - the latter was the "perfect work" of the mastermind behind the scenes, the technology oligarch Zhou Shihong.
They discovered that Zhou Shihong's "nest" system was eroding citizens' consciousness through infrasonic frequencies in an attempt to create a hive society without individuals. The only key to preventing the doomsday lies deep in the painful genetic memory of the clones and the modified body of female scientist Lin Wei.
This is the ultimate showdown with the Creator. When an old enemy becomes the only accomplice, the three must risk everything to tear apart the darkness before their consciousness is completely swallowed up. The truth is far more frightening than madness.
