Those on the brink of death can see the “things” lurking in the corners of light and shadow in Lin Wan's photographs.
Their indistinct outlines are secretly linked to the memories of the dead.
And she gradually realizes that she is more than just the photographer:
she is also the “interface” through which an unseen System has chosen to communicate with this world.
When the presence beneath the ruins of a textile factory from 1978 slowly awakens,
she must learn not how to destroy it,
but how to teach it the language of coexistence with human civilization.
