One phone call can ruin a life. A besieged city that imprisons souls.
Lin Zhe, a programmer who was laid off by a large factory, received a high-paying offer from the sky - a Southeast Asian Internet giant, with an annual salary of one million and a prepaid signing fee.
It was the bait thrown by the abyss, cloaked in light.
When he crossed the border, his mobile phone and passport were taken away, and the iron gate slammed shut behind him, he realized that he had been trafficked into a "sieged city of fraud."
This place is highly hierarchical and heavily armed. This is a criminal empire and a melting pot of humanity. Some people here have become evil ghosts, some are silent and waiting to die, and some are stabbing with a knife. In order to survive, Lin Zhe was forced to become the kind of person he hated most - using codes to select prey, using words to hunt compatriots, and using bloody commissions to exchange for a moment of safety.
Until the script he developed accurately defrauded an old man who looked exactly like his father, causing him to commit suicide.
Finally he couldn't close his eyes anymore.
Joining forces with the silent hacker Lao Mao, Lin Zhe started a moth-to-flame counterattack - stealing data under the eyes of the devil, looking for gaps in the steel cage, and exchanging a broken conscience for a bloody redemption.
But outside the high walls, who will respond? Within the high walls, who is a human and who is a ghost?
