Three years ago, Zhang Heng, a leading anti-fraud investigator, pursued the disappearance of a family of four. Just as the case was about to close, their household registration, bank, and medical records vanished one after another, and every witness denied the family had ever existed. Zhang Heng was consequently accused of fabricating evidence, fired, and blacklisted from the industry.
Three years later, a woman comes to him with her husband’s death certificate and an old insurance policy. The insurance company has only one reason for refusing to pay: the policyholder does not exist, and the contract was never valid.
But Zhang Heng’s own name is signed in the policy’s investigation approval field.
A husband who never existed, a fire that was never built, a person insured seven minutes after death… Zhang Heng dismantles the human schemes behind each strange case, only to discover that some traces cannot even be explained by the killers.
When the law, the data, and everyone’s memories deny that a person ever existed, what can prove they were ever here?
