Plot
In a technologically advanced but morally corrupt floating city, diligent insurance agent Mark has been living with his schizophrenic mother for many years. However, his tranquil life is shattered by a mysterious phone call. To raise money for his ailing mother, Mark is forced to commit perjury in exchange for a hefty reward. Believing everything to be seamless, Mark soon discovers that a "mysterious person" knows about his actions and blackmails him into doing his bidding. During this ordeal, Mark reunites with his high school sweetheart, Jessie, who now works at a bank. Together, they decide to escape the control of the mysterious person. Little do they know, Jessie is also entangled in the web spun by the mysterious person, and their fates are tightly bound together. As Mark becomes implicated in a crime involving the mafia boss Tai Ge's dirty money, a shocking conspiracy begins to unravel, and the "mysterious person" is finally revealed. However, in the process of seeking revenge, Mark realizes he has fallen into an even greater danger.[3]
