On
the surface, this appears to be a dark tale of a twisted serial killer.
Young women are disappearing at an alarming rate and - of course - the
police suspect foul play. A deadly stalker is kidnapping girls and torturing
them. At least, that's what Zhao Ziyu believes. She is a university
student suffering from disturbing dreams that involve the murder of
her sister coupled with brutal dark alley killings. When Ren, her co-worker
at a coffee shop, disappears, Ziyu feels an unsettling connection. But,
like the title itself, much of the real story is hidden in the shadows,
waiting to be discovered.
