Lin Shen can touch the belongings of the dead and see the final twenty-four hours of their memories, helping them fulfill their unfinished wishes. But the price of this ability is brutal: every time he helps someone put their affairs to rest, he loses one of his own memories. As the years pass, many memories and the faces of loved ones slowly fade from his mind.
The dying old man Zhou Shouyi entrusts him with a bronze badge and leaves him with a revelation that overturns everything he has believed for twenty years: his father is not dead.
When Lin Shen was eight, he carried home his father's ashes with his own hands. The death certificate and cremation records were all in order, and he had always believed his father died in a fire.
Shen Chong, a man in the funeral industry, keeps pressuring him and sending people to seize the badge. Danger closes in from every side. Fake documents, a secret storage locker, and a classified file called Project Tranquility emerge one after another, gradually tearing apart the carefully woven deception from years ago.
After overcoming danger at every turn, he finally meets his father, who is still alive. But the moment he fulfills Zhou Shouyi's final wish, the punishment arrives as promised. He has kept his promise to the dead, yet once again, he is on the verge of forgetting his father's face.
