Reigan, a young neurologist from Shanghai discovers a naked woman in the morgue of his hospital, her skin is completely covered in fish scales. Desperate to be cured of her rare disease, the mysterious patient unveils a terrible secret she has carried for decades. Her revelation shatters his world, as she begins to recap her tragic, horrifying memories. Within the next 24 hours while a great storm hits the city, Reigan is determined to find the answers to everything.
Set against the backdrop of the Second World War/Sino-Japanese war (1931-1945), the dark romance thriller explores passion beyond all forbidden boundaries and love tested to its limits to defy even death.
