One rainy night in 1866, Walter from England? After a long sea voyage, Moody arrived exhausted at the coastal town of Hokitika, New Zealand. Like all the people who dreamed of getting rich at that time and flocked here from all over the world, he was ready to gamble their lives in this gold rush. When Walt walked into the smoking room of the hotel to rest, he found 12 men crowded inside. Judging from their appearance and clothing, they were a mixture of different races and social classes. The scene was extremely unusual. When he first arrived, he accidentally broke into a secret party. These 12 local men gathered together solemnly in order to clarify the connection between three suspected criminal incidents in one day: the richest gold prospector in the town disappeared for no reason; a reclusive drunkard was murdered and a large amount of gold was found in his home; a prostitute was lying on the roadside after a suicide attempt and was about to be tried for murder. However, there is a huge gap between reality and appearance. As each man tells his own one-sided story, the truth and falsehood are gradually pieced together into a web of alliances and betrayals, secrets and lies, luck and misfortune. Some people teamed up to make prostitutes addicted to opium, some fell in love with prostitutes, and some were the brothers of the deceased. Moody was soon involved in this mystery, but he also carried his own secrets... And the scene Moody witnessed on the boat was cleverly connected with the above events. This intricate web of mystery has its own order like the starry sky, everything is interconnected, and everyone plays a role in it, but they are unaware of it...
