    • Zijie is a young fencer longing to reconnect with his estranged older brother Zihan, who mysteriously returns after seven years in juvenile prison for killing an opponent during a fencing match. Zijie believes Zihan’s insistence that he is innocent and secretly decides to help him, defying their mother’s efforts to erase Zihan from their lives. In return, Zihan starts to train Zijie in fencing and Zijie improves immensely, getting selected to compete at the upcoming National Championships. As the brothers grow closer, their mother finds out that they have re-united and is furious at Zijie, yet Zijie stubbornly sticks by his brother. But Zihan’s hostile past is triggered after an argument, leaving Zijie to finally question whether his beloved brother might be a violent sociopath after all.
