Cheng Huang Lu

A string of disturbing crime scenes leaves behind victims transformed into demonic beings, and surveillance footage consistently captures a prime suspect who is the exact double of an ordinary young man. Armed with an official arrest warrant from the underworld, a determined female enforcer detains him to stand trial before Heibai Wuchang. Facing supernatural judgment for crimes he swears he did not commit, the desperate suspect turns the tables by blackmailing his captor into helping him uncover the real perpetrator. Bound together by coercion and necessity, the unlikely pair begins investigating the bizarre transformations. As they dig deeper into the cases, they unravel a chilling conspiracy that points to a sinister connection between the true killer and the accused man’s own identity. The evidence suggests that the murders are far more personal than either of them initially realized, drawing them into a dangerous web of secrets. However, their pursuit of the truth plays out exactly as someone else intended. Unbeknownst to both the fugitive and his reluctant partner, every clue they follow and every step they take has been meticulously orchestrated by a hidden mastermind pulling the strings from the shadows.
