In 1993, a female body was found on top of the water tower of the old alkali plant. Twelve-year-old Sun Jianguo was the first person to see her, and detective Feng Du was the first person to come to her.
Who the dead man was, where he came from, how he got up there - no one knew. The county is so big, but there are more than one missing people. Feng Du searched for the answer on the rusty iron ladder and in the hearts of silent people, but found that with every step he took, the truth took a step back.
It was very hot that summer and the moon was very round. Someone was watching them in the dark and waiting for a long time.
This is a story about searching. Find a person, find an answer, find an era that can never be returned to. When the memory is corroded by time, only those eyes can still remember what the moon on the water tower once illuminated.
