Three years ago, talented director Lin Che fell from the top of the entertainment industry and was forced to retire due to a well-planned plagiarism and sex scandal. Three years later, when he was trying to make a comeback by preparing for the science fiction blockbuster "Starfall", the mysterious female agent Su Ying appeared as the heroine and brought a shocking secret: all Lin Che's past movies were secretly used by the international criminal organization "Shadow" as a tool to pass on the operation code, and "Starfall" is their next target.
Lin Che was caught in a double desperate situation: externally, he had to complete this "turnaround" amidst the suppression of capital and rejection by his peers; internally, under the surveillance and destruction of the "shadow", he had to cooperate with Su Yingli, use their tricks to perform well in front of the camera, and start a life-and-death game behind the camera. The truth of the past frame-up gradually surfaced, intertwined with the current conspiracy. He must use the director's wisdom to lay out the set, distinguish between friends and foes in the interplay of light and shadow, and complete an ultimate counterattack in which reality and the screen intertwine under the dual pressure of shooting progress and crime countdown. This is not only a battle to clear one's name, but also a righteous duel to tear apart a huge dark network.
