Song Qixing, a 38-year-old scientific researcher, dreams of being tangled in chains and sinking to the bottom of the water night after night. The familiar river in his dream becomes more and more real. He thought it was just stress, until fragments emerged vaguely during psychotherapy, leading him back to his long-gone hometown.
Huangpotang Village, surrounded by mountains and rivers, was peaceful and ancient, but the moment he stepped in, it began to collapse bit by bit; weird things happened frequently, and the boundary between reality and dreams was completely torn apart.
Old memories of childhood, memories of death, forgotten sins and love, emerge layer by layer.
It turns out that the river never really let him go...
