The forensic doctor diagnoses the death as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning after head trauma.

Zhong Jingguo, a veteran police officer, and Yang Ruisen, a rookie cop, join forces to solve the case and discover the uncanny relationships hidden throughout the building.

Security guards, neighbours, architects, agents, cleaning ladies, novelists all have secrets, and the truth becomes even more confusing...
