In the near-future super city "Xinhai City", the technology giant "Tianqiong Group" has penetrated every corner of the city's operation with its "Garden of Eden" livelihood system. Citizens' lives, jobs, credit and even destiny are all defined by a set of cold digital scores. This is a brave new world and an invisible digital cage.
Prosecutor "Ling Cang" is a staunch guardian of the legal principles of the old era. He is an upright man, rigid in his actions, and firmly believes that the law is the last line to maintain social justice. However, when he took over a seemingly ordinary suicide case of a data analyst from the "Tianqiong Group", he discovered that there was a huge network intertwined with power, capital and violence hidden behind it. All clues point to a mysterious figure who exists like a ghost on the Internet-"Yexian".
"Yexian" is one of the original builders of the "Garden of Eden" system. Betrayed by the "Tianqiong Group" due to differences in ideas, his body was imprisoned, but his consciousness turned into a data stream, becoming a "ghost" wandering in the depths of the digital world. She/he has no fixed form, is a code, a shadow, and the only hope to resist the tyranny of the "sky".
In order to uncover the truth, Ling Cang must put aside his obsession with the old order and cooperate with Ye Xian, who lives in the gray area. One of them competes with corrupt politicians and ruthless business giants in the real court; the other competes with AI guards, hacker killers, and data gangsters in the virtual abyss. Their alliance not only has to face the crazy pursuit of the "Sky Group", but also beware of the most ferocious gang under the shadow of the city, the "Black K Club".
