A blood-stained invitation led psychology expert Shen Moxin to an isolated island manor.
Eight prestigious guests, a carefully planned invitation to death.
A sudden storm broke out, communications were cut off, and the island became a secret room. The owner of the manor, Gu Chongshan, drank poison and "died" on the night of the banquet. Before his death, he announced: "The trial has begun."
Panic spreads, rules are cruel——
Bystanders of the "Crescent Lake Case", please confess your sins in turn.
Liars will pay the price with their lives.
A has-been movie star, a former politician, an authoritative doctor, a mysterious rich man... Their accumulated crimes are closely intertwined with an unsolved case of a girl who has been sleeping for fifteen years. Death followed one after another, and the order of death closely matched their "crimes" back then.
Shen Moxin must piece together the truth amidst the murders, only to find that all the clues point to a deeper conspiracy. And Gu Zhongshan's cold voice sounded through the radio again:
"Do you think I'm really the first to die?"
When procedural justice becomes a fig leaf, is delayed justice still justice?
This is an ultimate trial in which life is a stake, and no one can be exempted.
