In an isolated village that believes in ancient Nuo opera, every ten years, the "Nuo God" will accurately "select" and execute a sinner after a grand ceremony. Criminal police captain Chen Kan, a rationalist who firmly believes in logic and evidence, breaks into the village to investigate the truth behind the mysterious death of his friend. He discovered that behind the so-called "oracle" was a flawless serial murder that had been carefully planned for decades by the "Nuo Noodle Master", the guardian of the village. Chen Kan must see through the murderous intention disguised as a miracle in a chess game that follows ancient rules, and engage in a life-and-death battle of wits with the "god" who can manipulate people's hearts.
