In the late autumn of 1937, Shanghai fell. Shen Yanzhi, a rosewood carpenter who returned from studying in France, discovered the defense map of the Japanese army's "Water Cutoff Plan" in half a piece of wood left by his father. In order to prevent this massacre of hundreds of thousands of civilians, he had to join forces with military reunification agent Su Lingyue. A carpenter and an embroiderer use Morse code to transmit signals on the dance floor, hide film in the interlayer of embroidery sheets, and embed information in the mortises and tenons of mahogany tables and chairs. What Shen Yanzhi doesn't know is that the traitor who betrayed his father is lurking in the dark, and his opponent - Kenichi Matsumoto, the director of the Special High School Course - has already laid a dragnet. When the fire engulfed the wooden workshop, what he ignited was not despair, but the last light before dawn. "Mountains and rivers are in the human heart, not in the wood."
