Returned criminal police officer Lu Chen rents No. 18 Courtyard in Laopingleli, Xicheng District, where spooky things often happen. Xu Luo, a mysterious painter next door, always applies blood-like paint in the middle of the night. Tenants died in the "curse ritual" one after another, and ancient symbols pointing to Xu Luo remained at the scene. Lu Chen was forced to go with the suspect to explore the unsolved murder case in the old alley. The whispers coming back from midnight dreams, the wedding procession of paper figurines, and the bleeding old locust tree in the courtyard are closing in step by step. The truth is human revenge? Or is there really a lingering resentment?
