An obscure little city in Northeast China, pitch-black. Two orphans, childhood sweethearts, lean on each other.
Their dreams are delightful, but reality is dull. Childhood was easy; growing up is hard.
Spring gives way to autumn, day turns to night, nine to five, the endless turning of the wheel.
Little by little, they realize that life is a circle, and they're trapped inside it.
Things are about to change.
On one side is a comfortable life for the taking; on the other, tightening their belts and sharing every hardship.
Should they part ways and forget each other, or stand together through thick and thin?
Could the lifeline they grasp amid their confusion and passion be love?
Theme: Finding the love we've lost.
