Zhou Mo grew up in an orphanage and knew nothing about his family, until a letter informing him of an inheritance led him to an old house in a remote mountain village. The last descendant of the Zhou family, he entered his clan's ancestral home, sealed away for seventy years, and discovered a redwood coffin in the basement, covered in ancient runes. It was cold as iron, and on its lid was a human-shaped outline like molten gold, as though something had once been burned into it.
The moment Zhou Mo touched the coffin, nightmares came one after another: knocking sounds from inside it in the dead of night, blood seeping out for no reason, and bizarre runes appearing on his arm of their own accord... Stranger still, a mysterious young woman named Lin Yuqing, who claimed to be a folklorist, suddenly showed up. She seemed to know everything about the coffin and the Zhou family's dark past. The village elders were tight-lipped, warning him only that the coffin would "eat people," and that Zhou Mo's bloodline was the sacrifice it had been waiting for all these years.
As the night of the full moon draws near, the presence inside the coffin grows ever more restless. Zhou Mo must uncover the truth behind the bloody ritual of 1945: five missing children, a twisted family pact, and the cruel fate his father, Zhou Mingyuan, died trying to hide. As the blood nightmare tears apart the boundary between the living and the dead, the only price that might end the curse could be the sacrifice of his own soul...
