After Lin Zhian unwittingly gains an ability, he witnesses several unsolved cases, bringing people from different walks of life into one another’s orbit. Zhao Wenyu discovers strange phenomena while pursuing technological innovation and suspects that some force is controlling the entire city. Ye Xue’s concern for her students gradually leads her to uncover the secrets behind the school. Cheng Lanting uses her ability to control the situation to build an underground empire, intent on letting those with supernatural abilities decide the city’s future. Shen Ting leads the police in investigating a series of bizarre cases. Reality and the supernatural, technology and ethics collide across several interwoven storylines, as the five protagonists and those around them gradually uncover a larger conspiracy that will shape the fate of the entire city.
