In the dome city "New Babel", the technology giant "Arc of Eternity" has achieved digital immortality for mankind through "Protocol 4020". However, in this city where there is no death, the truth is a luxury.
Lin Shuo, the former memory examiner, was deprived of everything due to a mysterious "accident" and was implanted with false painful memories. When a piece of encrypted data from the underground draws him into the nightmare of the past, he discovers that behind eternal life is a cruel "data annihilation", and he himself was once the sharpest butcher's knife.
In order to recover his tampered self, he is forced to engage in a dangerous game with the mysterious hacker in the abyss, his former lover, and the immortal who guards the ultimate secret. Every step he takes steps on the edge of lies and truth, and every choice he makes tests the boundaries of his humanity.
When the final secret is revealed and the enemy is no longer a company or individual, but a "god" quietly born in the "heaven" created by mankind, how will he choose?
This is the ultimate question about memory, identity and existence. When your past can be erased and your future can be programmed, the only way you can prove who you are is your choice.
