Hiyama Eisuke is an actor who has struggled to find success. He relocated from Osaka to Tokyo with dreams of stardom, but only managed to land small roles and made very little money, living paycheck to paycheck. He possessed a rather unhelpful "gift": a bothersome ability to "hear" the voices of spirits who died prematurely. Lacking any psychic abilities, he couldn’t see or communicate with these spirits; he merely heard their voices in a one-sided manner. This led him to recklessly pursue cheap haunted properties, where he was tormented by the distressing voices of the deceased, resulting in frequent moves and a downward spiral into poverty. One day, Hiyama found himself in yet another haunted place and decided to visit "Amami Real Estate," the agency that handled the property, to voice his complaints. The president, Amami Goro, who was aware of Hiyama's unique ability, mentioned, "I have a property that might interest you," and took him to an unexpected location. It was a room in a high-end apartment where a woman had taken her own life five years prior. Due to the tragic incident, the rent had been lowered, and over the years, ten tenants had left in quick succession, all suffering from mental instability, with one even attempting suicide, marking it as a special A-class accident property. Hiyama was offered a temporary job to stay in the room, confirm that it was safe to live in, and help improve the property’s reputation. Tempted by the generous pay, he agreed. That night, he immediately heard a voice, but surprisingly, the woman who was believed to have committed suicide declared, "I was murdered!"

In this 1970s supernatural thriller, Wang Jian, a police officer, stumbles upon the ghost of his neighbor, Huang Yinggu, who has been trapped in a braid inside the police station for over a decade. As Yinggu slowly unravels her tragic story to Jian, it is revealed that she was wrongly convicted of a crime she did not commit. Her nephew, Ye Jiasheng, was the true culprit who framed her to cover his tracks. Despite her efforts to break ties with Jiasheng's son, Ye Zuguang, who is involved in criminal activities, tragedy strikes again when Zuguang commits a heinous act and tries to pin it on Yinggu's daughter, Sun Minghua. With Jian now a police inspector, he works tirelessly to uncover the truth and bring justice to the innocent victims. However, Jiasheng, a cunning senior police inspector, uses deceitful tactics to protect his son, even resorting to framing innocent individuals and tampering with evidence. In a dramatic confrontation, Yinggu's ghost confronts Jiasheng, who remains unrepentant until his eventual demise from cancer. Justice ultimately prevails as new evidence surfaces, leading to Zuguang's confession and conviction. As the story unfolds, a subplot emerges involving Jian's wife, Baoyan, accepting bribes on his behalf, leading to her decision to come clean and face the consequences. The series concludes with Baoyan's release from prison and a heartwarming reunion with Jian and their family.
