Features: The smoke of the Second World War had not yet dissipated, but in the lakeside village of Wisconsin, a mysterious and poignant story unfolded. In the winter of 1919, in a hospital in Milwaukee, young nurse Amanda suddenly left the American wounded she treated as if they were gods, quietly returning to her hometown after years of absence. Yet a year later, on a cold and terrifying night, her cheerful and outgoing sister Matilda drowned in the Great Lakes, leaving behind her husband Karl, who was returning from the European battlefield, and her three-year-old daughter Rose. Her death left a huge mystery in people's hearts. How exactly did she die? Was it an intentional murder? And who was the culprit? Behind Amanda's cold demeanor, something was hidden that she desperately tried to conceal and never revealed. Rose, though she grew up, could never shake off the shadow cast on her young mind by that fatal night. Karl, for years, remained unwavering in his secret investigation into his wife's death, once even pointing a gun at the head of the suspected culprit. However, with the passage of time and the changing of seasons, Karl, Amanda, and Rose, along with the colorful characters closely tied to their lives, embarked on a heart-pounding, interconnected psychological chase and clash of personalities, until the truth was finally revealed more than a decade later.
