Ling Ye, a top memory restorer, accidentally discovered the "future" image of her murder in her client Anya's memory at work. The client died on the spot, and Ling Ye was framed and forced to flee. His only clue is the "murder memory" that cannot be deleted.
With the help of Evelin, the daughter of the director of Genesis, Ling Ye began to investigate. Based on the clues provided by the memory fragments, they came into contact with the resistance organization "Blank Slate" and learned about the early "talent cultivation plan" of the Genesis Group. While evading the pursuit and investigation of Security Director Xiao Shen, Ling Ye discovered that Evelin seemed to be in secret contact with Xiao Shen, and the alliance was full of suspicion. Through a dangerous cyberattack, they steal confidential documents and uncover Project Cerberus, a plan to replace city leaders with "artificial beings."
After Ling Ye deeply analyzed the "murder memory", he was shocked to find that he was the "guardian" of the experimental subject in the plan, and Evelin was the "communicator". The real mastermind is Shawshank disguised as a pursuer - the "Thinker" and another "Guardian" in the plan. At Genesis headquarters, Xiao Shen tried to mentally format the two, but Ling Ye and Evelin resisted the purge by relying on memory resonance. In the end, Ling Ye defeated Xiao Shen, and Evelin made the conspiracy public.
The conspiracy of the Genesis Group was shattered and Xinhai City fell into chaos. Ling Ye and Evelin were freed, but their identities and past were lies. They decided to face the unknown future together and find their missing ally K. However, Ling Ye received a mysterious message from his late adoptive father, suggesting that the conspiracy was far from over.
