The film tells the story of a girls' middle school plagued by bullying, where a student's tragic death sparks a wave of disappearances.

Junior high school girl Huijun fell to her death from a height after being bullied on campus for a long time.

As the serial murders unfold, several suspects emerge: Xiaotong's mother, who witnessed her daughter's mouth being sealed with glue yet stayed silent; the school janitor Lin Zaifu, who seems to know the truth but remains indifferent; and the mysterious Wu Wang, who watches from the shadows, smiling despite the looming danger.

The police officer Dai Guodong investigates, but appears blinded by deception.
