In order to raise money for his mother's medical expenses, college student Li Ming became a night shift security guard at Yong'an Funeral Home. However, on his first day on the job, he encountered strange events - a white shadow on the morgue surveillance, the automatic opening and closing of mortuary cabinet No. 13, And the inexplicable red rope that appeared on the ground... The warning of the old guard Lao Wang followed closely, "Don't touch the red rope, don't ask about cabinet No. 13."
With the arrival of an unknown female corpse wearing a red string bracelet, forensic doctor Chen discovered that the body was abnormal. Li Ming was guided by the "woman in red" during the night shift and found a dusty file in the attic: Sixty years ago, a woman Lin Shuya was unjustly killed in the ancestral hall of the former funeral home because of "casting a curse." The red string bracelet became the incarnation of her obsession.
When the owner of the funeral home (the descendant of the framer) set a trap to cover up the secret, Lin Shuya's resentment got out of control, and Li Ming, Medical Examiner Chen and the atoning Lao Wang were forced to face the truth. The moment the red rope wrapped around their wrists, they realized that the "shock" here was not caused by ghosts, but by lingering ghosts waiting for a belated innocence.
Intent: Using the funeral home, a special space that carries the boundary between life and death, as a carrier, we use strange images such as red ropes and morgues to cut through the core of "grievances" and "obsession" - on the surface, it is a shocking shell of the dead soul demanding debts, but in fact it reveals the human nature. How prejudice and evil in sex push innocent people into the abyss, and the long journey of truth and redemption is a profound interrogation of "delayed justice", allowing readers to reflect in suspense: Compared with ghosts, the darkness of the human heart may be more frightening.
