An old body-burning case is reopened, and Officer Chen Jianghe is urgently called back to his small town. Upon returning, he’s swept into chaos—schemers, a lying killer, and revenge-driven victims, all closing in like a raging sandstorm. Yet, Chen believes every storm ends, and justice will prevail once the dust settles.
