Deep in the mist-shrouded reaches of Qingfeng Mountain stands a dilapidated Taoist temple, home to just one boy.
Raised by an old Taoist priest, he knows every herb and can read the balance of yin and yang. His acupuncture skills can bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bone, yet he can't even use a phone and can barely recognize a car.
Following his master's orders, the boy straps on a medicine basket, tucks away his silver needles, and blunders into the mortal world.
He means to keep his head down and finish the task his master gave him, but trouble comes one thing after another: a woman in red knocking at midnight, a wealthy businessman shrouded in the stench of death, strange illnesses that baffle the doctors at a hospital... One bizarre, uncanny case after another draws him into a series of whirlpools.
People take him for a country bumpkin from the backwoods, never realizing that this visitor from the mountains has extraordinary skills: he can decide life and death, and vanquish evil spirits.
When his silver needles fall and the scent of herbs rises, watch this young Taoist healer carve out his own path of salvation in a world both wondrous and strange.
