Features: The Xiamiqu Prison is located on the edge of the second-largest desert in the world, the "Sea of Death" - Taklamakan. It houses heavy criminals from all over the country, including a relatively independent women's detention area. Vice Mayor Qin Weimin, who was once on the rise, becomes a prisoner overnight. According to the law, death row prisoners with a two-year reprieve must be executed if they commit another crime during that period. Life is at stake, and danger lurks at every corner. The prison chief, Pei Yi, is a master of criminal psychology and is responsible for overseeing Qin Weimin. Faced with the man who ruined the lives of the two most precious women in his life, Pei Yi is consumed by grief and anger. Wu Hezi, the death row prisoner; Zhou Yigong, the "murderous painter"; Hu Songlin, the "police criminal" – each vivid character reveals the oppressive, brutal, and incredibly real world behind the high walls.
