Bizarre deaths have been reported in Pingtung County, and the weapon wielded by the murderer is an evolved filovirus deadlier than the Ebola strain! The murderer makes a public demand that the county government comes clean with and issues an apology for its crime committed seven years ago within 24 hours. Otherwise, he will unleash the virus across all of Taiwan! County police officer Chiang Hsin carries out investigations with much difficulty due to resistance from the county government but still manages to uncover the astonishing truth about the tragedy that happened in 2007 after Typhoon Sepat struck, a tragedy that had, until now, been hushed by various government agencies. At the same time, Criminal Police Officer Li Wu-Ching seeks to learn the truth about the death of his mother. He comes to an agreement with prosecutor Chin Min-Yi and travels to Pingtung County with his close friend Senior Inspector Tang Yu to assist in the investigation. The policemen, joined by researchers from the Taiwan Centers for Disease Control, are led to the Old Haocha Village in Wutai Township by hunters from the Rukai tribe, hoping to find out more about the source of the virus and cures for the inflicted. Kucapungane, a land saturated with the beauty of nature and slate houses, is also referred to as the Home of Clouded Leopards by the Rukai people. Unfortunately, such a beautiful place has now been tainted with the sanguine stench of sin. Not only do Wu-Ching and his team come across a murder in a cave referencing the incredible legend of the Baixibali, they also get attacked by unidentified armed men. At the same time, they find out that there is a third party eyeing the virus! Wu-Ching must face all these dangers and at the same time protect his injured partner Tang Yu while trying to solve the mystery. He also has to enter an underground temple rumored to have been hidden by holy boulders for countless years. In the temple, the answer to the mysterious virus, emerging at the same time as life appeared on Earth, will finally be unveiled.
