In the gloomy city of Jiangyin, a series of gruesome "headless corpse cases" occurred one after another, shrouding the entire city in fear. Legendary criminal profiler Yu Feng, a calm genius who is extremely afraid of fire because he witnessed his mother being made into a wax figure as a child, and Guo Xinglong, the hot-tempered police detective who was "transferred" due to the stigma of his partner's sacrifice, are forced to join forces to hunt down the murderer.
As the investigation deepens, they are shocked to discover that the clues all point to a huge criminal empire hidden in the shadows of Jiangyin City. Facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, this pair of partners with very different but complementary personalities must break through their respective psychological cages and fully commit each other's backs.
They not only have to uncover the bloody truth that spans decades and bring the culprit to justice, but they also have to complete their own redemption. This is the ultimate battle about justice, trust, revenge and self-salvation.
