While investigating a series of bizarre murders, police detective Chen Mo discovers that every clue points to a dark web platform called “Perfect Crime Playbook.” Its founder, “Midas,” delights in trading blueprints for perfect crimes. Even more shocking to Chen Mo, his younger sister Chen Xi’s “suicide” five years ago is inextricably linked to the platform.
As the investigation deepens, Chen Mo is forced to team up with the mysterious hacker Lin Qian and therapist Qin Feng, only to find himself caught in suspicions of an inside traitor. With core assassins known as “Cleanser,” “Harvester,” and “Red Bird” blocking his path at every turn, he uncovers an even more horrifying truth behind his sister’s death: an extremist group called “Wheatfield,” dedicated to “purifying the world,” of which his sister was the “first ray of dawn.”
When Chen Mo unexpectedly becomes a “Guardian of Wheatfield” and must make a cruel choice between protecting criminals and betraying his colleagues, he draws closer to the terrifying core of “Project Dawn” and the precipice between humanity and faith.
