In the near future where technology can peer into human consciousness, a bizarre case of "mental coma" quietly appears. The victim's consciousness is permanently imprisoned in the cage of his own mind without any trauma, and he is like a living dead.
Elite agent Ling Xingwan, when he was responsible for investigating the bizarre coma case of technology giant Fang Zhenyun, all the clues pointed to a dead end. There is no evidence in the physical world, and the only crime scene exists only in the unfathomable sea of consciousness of the victim. In order to pursue the truth, she had to turn to Su Zhenshu, a "dream weaver" with a mysterious identity who walks on the edge of law and morality.
Su Zhenshu is a consciousness submariner who can sneak into other people's dreams and repair or steal memories. He is withdrawn and world-weary, but has an extraordinary talent for discerning the most vulnerable corners of the human heart.
When an absolutely rational detective meets a dream weaver with insight into sensibility, an unprecedented cooperation begins. One of them is pursuing clues in reality, and the other is fighting against bizarre thinking traps in dreams. Fang Zhenyun's broken memory is like a collapsed maze, which not only contains clues to the murderer, but also a "shadow" bred by fear and obsession.
As they approached the core of the truth step by step, they were shocked to discover that the target of this hunt might not be a specific person at all. In the deepest part of consciousness, the identities of hunter and prey may be reversed at any time.
