Anonymous Signal

Plot Overview

The story unfolds through the internal conflicts of the police force and a series of murders: three years ago, Guo Baifei (played by Chan Shan-chung), Jiang Xuwen (played by Lau Pui-yuet), and their colleague Liu Li (played by Cheung Chun-long) faced a pursuit operation that resulted in their mentor, Luo You-bang, being killed in action and Liu Li severely injured, leading to a rift in the mentor-student relationship between Xuwen and Baifei. Three years later, a mysterious serial murder case brings them back together, entangled with undercover agent Wen Jiali (played by Lau Wing-hin) and her ex-boyfriend Zhao Junlang (played by Ding Zilang).

Sci-Fi Suspense Setting

The entire series revolves around the key clue of "anonymous signals"—agents frequently receive mysterious alerts from a mobile assistant, which can accurately predict crime details while concealing a threat that manipulates the entire situation. The police establish a "Mysterious Message Intelligence Unit" to uncover the truth, gradually revealing the true identity and purpose behind the signals: friend or foe? Is it human manipulation or technological alienation?
