Lu Chuan, a genius neuroscientist, spent ten years of hard work and successfully developed a "consciousness projection" technology that can directly enter the deep layers of other people's consciousness. He firmly believes that this will be the future of psychotherapy. The first volunteer experiment was a great success. However, this was not the beginning of the gospel, but the opening of Pandora's box. The sponsor, Zhang Cheng, is a ruthless CEO of a technology giant. He regards this technology as a weapon to control his business empire and does not hesitate to tamper with experimental data in an attempt to push "consciousness projection" into commercial abuse.
Lu Chuan vowed to defend technological ethics to the death, but found that he had been trapped in the dragnet set by Zhang Cheng. His partner, the mysterious psychiatrist Ye Xin, while assisting in the investigation of data tampering, was accidentally trapped in a virtual "cage" made of out-of-control consciousness fragments! In order to rescue his lover, Lu Chuan ventured into that dangerous and unpredictable virtual world without hesitation.
However, the depths of the virtual world are far more complex and terrifying than he imagined. Not only did he reveal Zhang Cheng's shocking conspiracy to use technology to control consciousness, but he also unexpectedly learned Ye Xin's real purpose in joining the research - her brother was a victim of Zhang Cheng's early secret consciousness experiments. When the boundaries of technology are infinitely stretched and the boundaries between reality and virtuality are blurred, Lu Chuan and Ye Xin must join forces to start a life-and-death showdown with Zhang Cheng in the abyss of consciousness, not only to save themselves and Ye Xin, but also to protect human free will and find the glimmer of technology and ethics coexisting.
