A mysterious female patient arrives at Xie Siyu’s therapy office. She takes out three items: an old newspaper, a mystery novel, and a photograph of a woman. Then she says, “When the five-minute countdown ends, a murder will take place in this building.” With that, she presses the button to start the timer. When the five minutes are up, the woman mysteriously dies in Xie Siyu’s psychology clinic, and the police identify Xie Siyu as the murderer. But the countdown killings do not stop there.

At last, drawing on her talent for criminal investigation, Xie Siyu finds the real killer. But the information the killer reveals leaves her utterly stunned. When she finally faces the truth, Xie Siyu completely breaks down!
