After an incident at their high school, the outgoing Wei, only son of a well-off Chinese family, and Shuo, his quiet but perceptive classmate, become closer. Wei soon introduces his new friend to his parents, who, learning that Shuo comes from a troubled background, encourage this boy with an enigmatic charm to spend more time at their home. As Shuo integrates himself more into the family, he gradually uncovers that their seemingly comfortable existence is overshadowed by unspoken secrets, unmet expectations, and suppressed emotions. A tragic event then brings old wounds and current fears to light.

In his feature debut, writer and director Lin Jianjie offers an elegant and suspenseful story that puts a twist on the family Infiltrator plot.
