Former police officer Lin Shen was framed and charged with economic crimes. He was detained in a single-person monitoring room of the Supervision Bureau and subjected to round-the-clock surveillance for two years. He always remembered the scene of being shot and falling to the ground on a rainy night. A scored sycamore leaf became his last memory of the moment of death. After regaining consciousness, Lin Shen noticed something unusual. The inspector in charge of guarding him, Lu Wei, behaved strangely. He sent out an SOS distress signal in Morse code. His body still smelled of fresh wounds and iodine, and his duty records were deliberately falsified. Just when Lin Shen was secretly speculating, an old man named Lao Chen, who claimed to be the "borrower", appeared in his mind and told Lin Shen that he had saved him from death. The two parties reached a deal: Lin Shen had to stop a gangster from assassinating Li Xiaoyu, a senior girl in the Xingfu convenience store on Chengnan Road, within 24 hours. Once the mission failed, his borrowed life would be taken back. Lao Chen also revealed that the perpetrator's folding knife was engraved with special marks, which were exactly the same as the marks on the sycamore leaves that Lin Shen saw before his death, proving that his murder was not an accident, but a conspiracy that had been laid out for a long time. In order to complete the task, Lin Shen applied for going out on the grounds of purchasing, and went to the convenience store with Lu Wei to check out the store layout, and found a suspicious gray van lurking in the back alley. Lu Wei also secretly hinted that he was also deeply involved in this turmoil. Lin Shen was wary of ubiquitous surveillance and stalkers in the dark, while sorting out clues: Lu Wei appeared injured in an old warehouse in the early morning, a mysterious van stationed under surveillance, the recurring symbol of sycamore leaves, and the huge layout of the mysterious employer behind the scenes. Multiple clues intertwined into a big web.
