The wind and sand on the border of Lanjiang River hide sins darker than those deep in the mountains. Under the wave of international cannabis legalization, drug lord Uncle Ma used "poverty alleviation" as bait to turn Luanshi Village into a secret cannabis cultivation base. He used cross-border e-commerce and port containers to weave a drug network in an attempt to tear open the Chinese market.
Lu Zheng, leader of the anti-narcotics detachment, carries the stigma of his father's undercover "defection" and guards the border with iron and blood, vowing to clear his grievances and eradicate drug abusers. Shen Yan, an investigation expert from the provincial department, takes the trauma of his friend's suicide due to marijuana addiction and the tragic death of his partner to rely on data to track down drug traces, but he is always stymied by the shadow of the past.
When the two first met, they had a quarrel over their handling of cases. Lu Zheng wanted to force his way in, but Shen Yan wanted to outwit him. But when they were chasing clues, they saw clearly the abnormality of "all people planting drugs" in Luanshi Village. They also witnessed the forbearance and sacrifice of undercover Chen Mai and the struggle and redemption of drug dealer Sister Dao. From cave shootouts to intercepting cross-border drug shipments, they risked their lives time and time again between justice and darkness, and had to face the dilemma of family, country and family.
In this land torn apart by drugs, no one can escape unscathed. Some people sleep on the border, some are disabled for life, and some walk alone with scars. But even if everyone goes to tragedy, above the cracked soil, there will always be anti-narcotics police officers who use their lives to light up the glimmer of light, so that justice will never be absent.
Purpose: Even if the price of justice is tragedy for all, we must convey the hope that "darkness will eventually be dispelled." Every drop of blood on the cracked soil is a glimmer of light that illuminates the future.
