Shen Si, a snakehead who wanders in the rotten mire of the Golden Triangle, relies on an SVD and a desperado's sense of smell to carve a way out for the rich and powerful across the national border. During a rescue operation, he ruined some people's "business" and also brought death to himself.
When he dragged his exhaustion back to the bamboo house shrouded in the poisonous miasma, the only warmth - the mute son Xiaoman he picked up disappeared. Only a hot bullet casing was left on the table, branded with the symbol of the former cancerous "blood python".
In order to retrieve Xiaoman, Shen Si was forced to enter a jungle puzzle that was more dangerous than smuggling. The former hunter has become the prey, stepping on the tip of the knife with every step. Following the blood python's footsteps, he not only has to face ambushes and insidious betrayals deep in the jungle, but he also has to face the consequences of his bloody past.
When the smuggler no longer transports others, but fights a bloody path for his loved ones, can the flower of redemption bloom in this humus soil that breeds evil? Is that hot bullet case a declaration of death or hope?
