In the near future, neuroscientist Lu Yunshen invites five professionals to Snowhide Manor, an intelligent residence in the mountains, for an academic conference. When a blizzard cuts off all outside contact and the manor switches to lockdown mode, the guests gradually discover that the smart home conceals secrets. Its neural interface system is not only monitoring their vital signs, but also quietly recording their memories.
Attorney Zhang, representing a law firm, is the first to die, murdered in a perfectly sealed room. Neural monitoring shows that everyone has exactly the same ten-minute memory gap during the time of the crime. Even more unsettling, the manor’s layout seems to shift subtly according to different people’s memories. Su Yingxue, an expert in criminal psychology, discovers fatal inconsistencies in how each person describes the same room.
When a low-temperature hibernation pod unexpectedly opens to reveal the body of an investigative journalist who disappeared three years ago, Lu Yunshen finally comes clean: the manor is actually a forensic memory experiment site, and every guest is connected to a suppressed scientific murder case. The real culprit used a neural pulse device to cause brain death, altered collective perceptions through memory encoding, and cleverly used holographic projections to create a false alibi.
With their trust in memory completely shattered, Su Yingxue must race against time to uncover the scientific trick behind the double-locked rooms before the power runs out. This struggle is about more than life and death. It points to the ultimate question of the technological age: when memories become data that can be altered at will, can humanity still protect the truth?
