Fifty-eight-year-old Zhou, the former criminal investigation team leader, hid in a deserted village that could not be found on the map and opened a grocery store. He wanted to live a stable life in his old age. However, he did not expect that strange things in the village kept coming to him: the locust tree was hung with strange dolls and chicken feathers, a murderous hand was hidden in the old well, and there were always dark shadows wandering around late at night, and evil spirits were at work. There is an unknown past hidden under the village, and the secrets under the locust tree involve the true nature of all the weird things. Lao Zhou unintentionally became the "night watchman" protecting the villagers. He relied on the keenness and bloodyness of a criminal investigator to trace the truth, and silently persisted in dealing with evil spirits. It turns out that in the deepest darkness, guarding the peace of the people around you and protecting the sense of propriety in your heart is the confidence to survive the disaster, and it is also the answer hidden in ordinary perseverance.
