Zhou Ye was once the most promising person to leave Shahe Town.
He had outstanding grades since childhood and was later admitted to a prestigious university to study medicine. People in the town thought he would become a doctor, but Zhou Ye returned to his hometown with a diploma that did not allow him to practice medicine, and made a living by revising papers and filming Tan shop videos. He said it didn't matter, but in his heart he always believed that he had done more difficult questions and just chose the wrong track.
By chance, Zhou Ye met several strangers of unknown origin near the abandoned No. 5 Well, and saw a blue light that did not belong to any minerals or equipment lighting up underground. Those people claimed to be from an alien patrol that had lost its mission order, and deep in the No. 5 Well slept an awakening beacon.
In order to cover up the truth, Zhou Ye shot a fake Blu-ray video in an attempt to make the real anomaly look like a poor hype. Unexpectedly, the video suddenly went viral, triggering an investigation by the county.
Lin Zhiyuan, who is in charge of the investigation, comes from a big city and is a liberal arts graduate from a prestigious university. He has an establishment, a position, and a beautiful plan to revitalize Shahe Town. Zhou Ye initially thought that he was just a person who relied on documents to understand the world and happened to choose the right track.
Lin Zhiyuan soon discovered that the video could be faked and Zhou Ye could lie, but the things under Well No. 5 Seemed to be waking up at their own pace.
