Plot

Criminal profiling expert Fong Yat-chun (Carlos Chan), who abandoned a legal career after uncovering his father's corruption, has long possessed the ability to glimpse future events. After returning to Hong Kong, he begins receiving mysterious calls and emails from the future warning him of a series of symbol-marked murders. He assists the police and, along the way, teams up with detective Ying Ho-lam (Hera Chan) and forensic assistant Chong Ding-kan (Nicholas Yuen) to prevent the crimes—but the killer always seems one step ahead. The messages come from "Mary," the future version of Ho-lam from a parallel timeline, who provides crucial information about the murders and warns that Yat-chun's love for Ho-lam could lead to tragedy. As the crimes escalate, Yat-chun must race against time to catch the perpetrator and change the course of events.[4]
