Fengyang, 1990s. A dying mining town where secrets sink deeper than the abandoned shafts. When an unidentified woman’s body surfaces with rare glass fragments embedded in her neck, veteran officer Chen Hong Bing recognizes the telltale signature of a banned drug—one that was supposed to have vanished years ago.
The investigation pulls Chen into a labyrinth of silence. Someone in Fengyang is consuming the illegal substance, yet no one talks. No one sees. No one remembers. As his team traces the poison to its source, the evidence leads to an impossible conclusion: the mastermind behind the trafficking ring is not a stranger, not a shadowy kingpin—but family.
Now Chen faces an unthinkable choice. Uphold the law and destroy the person closest to him, or protect his bloodline and betray everything he has sworn to defend. In a town choking on coal dust and corruption, redemption carries a price. And justice? Justice demands eight hundred pounds of flesh.
