In a high-end apartment in Chongqing, a variety of people gather, peering into each other’s lives as they are also being observed. "Curiosity" spreads among them, expanding gradually in the dark corners they cannot see or reach, leading them into unknown directions... The girl from the photo development shop (played by Lin Yuan) frequently delivers developed photos to the wealthy residents, giving her a glimpse into the lives of the rich. However, what she truly cares about is a young security guard (played by Liao Fan) living in the garage. Contrary to her feelings, the security guard she has a crush on is very curious about and aspires to the lifestyle of the wealthy. One day, a young and beautiful woman named Liang Xiaoxia (played by Xiao Song Jia) moves into the apartment building and opens a nail salon. Her arrival draws the girl’s attention. She soon discovers that Liang Xiaoxia is having an affair with Mr. Zheng (played by Hu Jun), a resident of the apartment, while Mrs. Zheng (played by Liu Jialing), who comes from a wealthy family, seems to be unaware, as her focus is entirely on her son and growing roses. On the surface, the Zheng family’s life appears to be very peaceful. Mr. Zheng, who comes from a poor background, found a shortcut to wealth through his marriage to Mrs. Zheng, but he is not satisfied with their calm existence and life under someone else's roof, leading him to stray emotionally after meeting Liang Xiaoxia. Following this, a series of bizarre and frightening events occur in the Zheng household, causing anxiety and fear among its members. Mr. Zheng suspects that these incidents are the doing of Liang Xiaoxia, who does not deny it and uses these strange events to force Mr. Zheng to be with her. Liang Xiaoxia's relentless pressure leaves Mr. Zheng at a loss...
