"If I haven't contacted the outside world two months from now, then I'm dead."
Her older brother's final letter lay in front of Wang Shu. No one knew what she was thinking at that moment.
To uncover the truth behind her brother's death, Wang Shu set out alone to investigate. But as she delved deeper, one baffling incident after another unfolded before her.
A rental building with strange interpersonal dynamics, a remote mountain village with few visitors, and a cutting-edge technology company... These seemingly unrelated places all concealed the same secret.
With the resolve to die, Wang Shu inched closer and closer to the abyss of desire...
"Everyone dies. If death is simply the end of life, does it mean anything to explore the ways people die?"
"Wang Shu, let it go!"
A bitter smile appeared on Wang Shu's face. She knew there was no turning back now.
