A Place Called Silence
  • The story revolves around Anqi (played by Moon Lee) and her gang, the "Four Kings" of Jingmu High School, who regularly humiliate and even commit acts of violence against special education students Xiaotong (played by Heme Liao) and Huijun (played by Luna Chi). However, on the eve of the school anniversary, the Four Kings go missing one after another, prompting media coverage and igniting a frenzy over the so-called "Female Student Serial Murder Case." The police, however, are unable to find any leads, intensifying the atmosphere of panic on campus.

    After the murders occur, the school cleaner Li Han (played by Ivy Yin) becomes increasingly concerned about her daughter Xiaotong. One day, when Xiaotong fails to return home on time, a worried Li Han decides to search for her daughter herself. She is shocked to discover that Xiaotong was last seen on the surveillance footage of their own apartment. As the plot unfolds layer by layer, the silent individuals gradually come to the forefront, revealing that no one can remain uninvolved. Hidden pasts and sorrows emerge, unveiling deeper scars and tragedies.
