Criminal investigation consultant Tan Chenxuan can "see" the time consumed by others. In a case of a wealthy man's death in a secret room, all the suspects had perfect alibi, but he was the only one who saw that 12 of the last 24 hours of the deceased's life were "stolen". As for the new partner Ye Yaxi, her timeline is as clean as a lie. When time becomes the perfect weapon and perjury, the truth falls apart in the backward hourglass.
