A life-and-death manhunt spanning ten years, a deadly lie beneath a mirror image of twins
"The crime I bear is the sin committed by another 'me.'"
A Zhao, who grew up in an orphanage, is identified as the murderer after a DNA match, but no one will hear his pleas of innocence.
When an earthquake collapses the prison, he escapes in the chaos, only to fall into a desolate wasteland where time overlaps. As if reborn, he finds himself back at the source of the case: Zheng Village in Wu County.
Here lie the victim's bones, along with the secret of A Zhao's origins:
A crime scene in a cliffside cave, a DNA match that makes no sense, the victim's father's eerie silence...
The real killer is his twin brother, who shares his DNA, and is also the "embodiment of justice" in a conspiracy of power and lies.
A gunshot rings out at the cliff's edge, and a blood-red mist rises over the hot spring lake.
Can he tear through the truth in this desperate situation and clear his name?
Theme: Twins share the same genes yet follow different paths, exposing the power struggles and betrayal of family beneath the bonds of blood. - **Social critique**: The justice system relies on "absolute science" to convict people, yet becomes a tool for the powerful to fabricate innocence, satirizing institutional failure under the worship of technology. - **Self-redemption**: An innocent man tears down the wall of lies with his own body, carrying out a dual judgment of the system and his blood ties in a desperate situation.
