Synopsis and Plot Summary

Ten days, a kidnapping game, 4 million in ransom and a mystery at its heart. With the 'victim' turning up dead, have the stakes become far too real?

Yu Hai (Zhu Yawen) is the owner of a gaming studio in Luteng City, China who cannot accept how coldly his investor Shen Hui (Liu Yijun) tossed him aside to withdraw the funding for his company.

Yu Hai accidentally meets Lu Jie (Jin Chen), the daughter of Shen Hui's mistress. They concoct a plan to fake her kidnapping in exchange for ransom and start to have a relationship. Days later, Lu Jie is found dead. Wu Yuke (Geng Le) and Miao Jia (Xu Keer) are the cops assigned to the case and their investigation exposes a great danger looming in the background.
