Based on one of China's most famous online crime serials, a killer crowd-sources his victims, playing a deadly but ingenious game of cat-and-mouse with the police.
A mysterious presence online requests the names of those who deserve punishment but are untouchable by the powers that be. The emphasis on judgement reminds Zheng Haoming of the case that got away from him, with a high-octane cat-and-mouse chase proceeding from there. The first in a trilogy.
