A passenger plane crashed into a rift in time and space, and twelve survivors woke up and found themselves trapped in an "ecological cage" that subverted their cognition.
Here, rainforest, ice sheet, desert, and peak forest—four extreme environments are spliced and rotated in a way that violates the laws of physics. The sun can freeze for three hours, shadows come to life at sunset, rivers surge with highly alkaline milky white water, and trees are arranged as precisely as a chessboard.
Former survival coach Lin Feng and former special forces soldier Lu Ming, these close friends are forced to become the backbone of the team. However, this space seems to have some kind of consciousness, which feeds on human fears and memories, embodying death as a terrifying entity. Every environment rotation is accompanied by attrition and madness.
Under the continuous impact of betrayal, sacrifice and supernatural threats, the team finally collapsed, leaving only Lin Feng and three women with different identities: the calm doctor Su Qian, the keen botanist Chen Wei, and the resolute former detective Zhao Yue. Between the four people, dependence, trust, vague emotions and the logic of survival in a cruel environment constantly collide.
They gradually discovered that this was not an accident, but an ancient "sublimation trial." The stone tablet is engraved with a warning from the predecessors: "Don't believe in the shadow after the sun sets." To escape, they must solve the core puzzle of each environment, and the price may be that one of them will be left behind forever.
In this living cage where tenderness and malice coexist, on the edge of the cliff of reason and emotion, the ultimate question they face is not how to survive, but - in order to see the sun of tomorrow, who are you willing to let fall into the shadow of today?
