When Siu-Man leaped from her twenty-second-floor window, it was assumed to be a suicide. However, Siu-Man's sister, Nga-Yee, a quiet and unassuming librarian, is determined to prove it was murder. The police are uninterested in re-opening a solved case, so she contacts a man known only as N, a hacker and an expert in cybersecurity and manipulating human behavior. What follows is a cat-and-mouse game through the vibrant city of Hong Kong. The pair's investigation takes them from creepy commuter-train gropers to Siu-Man's gossipy friends to the dark corners of the city's digital underground, where online bullies, sexual predators, and shady tech businesses stalk their prey.
