The story takes place in 1950, in the beautiful southwestern frontier.
On his way back to his hometown, army doctor Yuan-di Chen was attacked by bandits and temporarily lost his eyesight. In a critical moment, armed team captain Hong-he Li rescued him in time and decided to escort him back to his hometown - Xi Tou village, which is beautifully situated and isolated from the outside world.
In Xi Tou village, the only person in Yuan-di Chen's home is his wedded but many years estranged wife - Min Mei. Her gentle and considerate care makes the injured Yuan-di feel very warm. However, in the darkness of night, there are ghostly shadows in the village, indicating that the familiar homeland Yuan-di knows has ceased to exist. It seems that there is some huge conspiracy hidden in this quiet little mountain village?!
