Lin Shen, a former investigative reporter, woke up in a freezer. His face was replaced with that of a condemned prisoner, his body was officially declared dead, and his name became Scapegoat No. 17.
He only has 30 days. After 30 days, this face that does not belong to him will completely fester and take him to hell with it.
But he is not fighting alone. The old handyman in the funeral home who used an arithmetic book to record 20 years of crimes, the female forensic doctor who carved 17 scars with a scalpel, and the hacker who used codes to keep the ghosts of his parents' data online forever - they are all people declared "dead" by this society.
From the morgue to the Xishan Villa, from No. 1 To No. 17, From the channel in 1976 to the live trial in 2024. When a "legally dead" ghost stands in the court, when the voices of 16 families ring through the world through the Internet, when the killer takes a bullet to protect him——
Justice finally stood up again in the name of the corpse.
