In a future city where memories can be bought, sold and tampered with, Lin Jing, the top memory weaver, suffers from a terminal illness that erases his own memory - "Ash Disease".
In order to save himself, he accepted a fatal commission to repair a mysterious chip from the past. However, what he encountered was not just a broken memory, but a lie that could overturn the entire world. The so-called terminal illness is actually the secret weapon used by the rulers to purge the people.
When a cold pursuit ensues, and when yesterday's allies may be tomorrow's traitors, Lin Jing must use his hands that can weave everything to dismantle this world built of lies before he completely disappears.
What he wants to recover is not only his own past, but also the truth that belongs to everyone that has been taken away by power.
