Su Mian, a mortuary cosmetologist, can briefly resonate with the dead, but she is slandered as a fraud who claims to communicate with spirits. When a serial killer taunts the police by making corpses "speak," she is forced to work with the cold-faced Detective Lu Zhao, piecing together the truth from one body after another. Her adoptive mother, Chen Shuang, and her secrets; blogger Zhou Yan, seeking revenge; and forensic pathologist Lin Huai, pulling strings, all turn her ability into a deadly pawn. When the last corpse opens its mouth and says, "You're one of my chosen ones, too," she must decide: use her gift to redeem herself, or let the truth bury every lie.
