In 1941, Shanghai became the core battlefield of the Far East spy war. Under the neon lights of the buildings of all nations, all forces intertwined into a deadly trap.
Shen Yan, codenamed "Panshi", has dual identities as counselor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government and a lurker of the underground party of the Chinese Communist Party. He walks on the cutting edge of military command, Wang Puppet No. 76 And the Japanese Army's Special High School. He was ordered to return to the country, and on the surface he was handling foreign affairs, but in fact he wanted to intercept the "734 Secret Document" of collusion between the Nazis and the Japanese army - a core military blueprint that could change the situation of the war.
Landing ashore in the cold night, he was interrogated by the military and monitored by No. 76, And was targeted by the cunning and ruthless Li Moqun; the secret codes of the secret tea house concealed murderous intentions, the advice of the mysterious old man seemed like an enemy and a friend, and there was a deeper conspiracy hidden behind the British businessman White. Under the three masks, there is loneliness and perseverance that no one knows; between the hail of bullets, there is the ultimate game of faith and humanity.
The waves of the Huangpu River carry blood and secrets, the bungalows in the French Concession are hidden with bugs and secret doors, every smile may be a trap, and every turn may be a farewell. With a rock-like will, Shen Yan sneaked in the abyss and broke through the fog, just to protect his family and country and wait for the moment of dawn.
This is a silent war and a lurker's lament. When his identity is exposed, his comrades sacrifice, and his faith is tested, can he complete his mission and become the sharpest silent blade in the darkness?
