In the small town of Dongcheng, everything started with the murder of an 18-year-old girl. Every family in the town is worried because this is the second case about the murder or disappearance of a young girl, but it is not until the end that the truth is revealed.
This is the best part of the show, and it's the most applauding.
Although Mel, starring Kate Winslet, is a police detective on the East Side, her own life is terrible.
Her son committed suicide by taking drugs. In the shadow of losing her son, she threw herself into the case and deliberately forgot the pain this incident brought her. Pain doesn't go away with time, let Mel forget.
Her daughter had yelled at her for hating her, her ex-husband Frank had a new love, and life seemed to be going in the right direction. But then the screenwriter gave the audience a slap in the face, which does not seem to be the temperament of "Dongcheng".
The murdered girl, Irene, was pregnant out of wedlock, a single mother, and an alcoholic father. Life was really bad. Her son DJ was ill, and she was forced to live with her ex-boyfriend again. One night, the ex-boyfriend's current girlfriend beat Irene, and Irene died that night.
That's why the show starts, everyone in town is more or less related to Erin, and every one of them is lying, and what the truth is, Mel wants to know more than anyone.
Every family in the town has its own misfortune. These misfortunes are due to Erin's death and Mel's investigation. These dark, broken, and unbearable facts are put on the table and put before their eyes, forcing everyone to go. To face, to overcome, to change, including herself. In the end, Mel took the initiative to board the attic where his son committed suicide, and everything came to an end here.
Irene's death is like the butterfly effect. The screenwriter shows everyone's living conditions and experiences through her death, and the truth lies under the iceberg.
