In the near future, asteroid fragments bring an unknown virus code-named "Stardust".
After the infected person loses their mind, they will be connected to a strange psychic network - "Chorus". They share perceptions and hunt together, like an awakening collective consciousness. Survivors called them "Bone Eaters."
Xu Chen is special.
His brain waves exhibit a rare "silent frequency" that counteracts the mental contamination of the chorus. After being taken in by the "Ark" organization, he thought he had found the last refuge of mankind. But the real purpose of Ark is to use the chorus network to transform all survivors into a "perfect whole" without individual will - they call it "Nirvana".
With the help of Ark doctor Lin Wanqing, Xu Chen escaped from this white prison.
However, the outside world is more complicated: a mutant "No. 0" That retains some human memories was born among the Bone Eaters. It is neither human nor monster, and is trying to use Xu Chen as a bridge connecting the two races; Ark's pursuers are close behind; and Xu Chen gradually discovers that his "silent frequency" is not as simple as immunity - it may be the only weapon to shut down the entire chorus network.
In the three-party struggle, a fundamental question surfaced:
When human civilization is reduced to ashes, how should the remaining people choose to live? Is it the collective ascension of Ark, the fusion evolution of No. 0, Or is it rekindling one's own fire in the name of a broken individual?
