When investigative journalist Ngọc disappears with evidence against the Thái Minh Legend conglomerate, a fateful USB falls into the hands of her closest friend, Kim.

The true battle has only just begun, forcing Chiến Nam to descend into the darkest depths to uncover the truth behind a perfectly staged illusion.
