In Pengcheng in the late 1990s, a green train roared past the railway tracks, and the three figures on the overpass were illuminated by the setting sun. Wei Xu, Song Qin, and Wang Hai, three childhood sweethearts, agreed to stay in their hometown and stay together year after year.
The millennium is approaching and the chill is coming.
On a ferry at an abandoned pier, a murder case opened up a conspiracy that had been sealed for ten or even twenty years. The bizarre old case in the machinery factory, the late-night fire at Hope Elementary School, the murder weapon left at the dock, and layers of fog wrapped in unknown crimes.
One of the former close friends died, one disappeared, and the other lay dormant alone. The vow to meet in youth is still in my ears, but my destiny has already secretly gone astray.
Memories and reality are intertwined and parallel, and warmth and darkness are repeatedly pulled together. When all the disguises are shattered one by one, the bonds and grievances spanning several generations will finally usher in the final judgment.
Purpose: Using the suspense of the era as a carrier, it tells the story of a trio of childhood sweethearts who use love as a shield to protect each other amidst old cases and shady stories. It explores the weight of young people's promises and the courage of ordinary people to fight against darkness, and shows the pure bond and love in troubled times.
