Some justice takes two generations to complete.
In 1998, prosecutor Cheng Weiguo was investigating the "918 Project" and died in a mysterious car accident on a rainy night. He left behind a notebook full of passwords - the last page was written in lemon juice: "If they find this, it means I am still alive."
In 2012, his son Cheng Mingyuan discovered in the cold case department that new handwriting appeared in the notebook. The date was 2012, and the handwriting was exactly the same as his father's. Who wrote those words?
In 2020, the Central Anti-Crime and Anti-Crime Supervision Team moved in. Cheng Mingyuan and female detective Lin Xiaotang jointly investigated the case, uncovering a judicial corruption network that spanned 24 years. When the statute of limitations becomes a defense weapon, when he forges his "father's last words" while sleepwalking - the dawn of the rule of law, whose dawn is it?
A Chinese legal epic about memory, trauma and institutional correction.
