Set in the frozen industrial landscape of Northeast China, these three novellas follow the lives of dreamers and outcasts struggling on the margins of society. From a failed inventor to a young man searching for his father, the stories blend harsh reality with elements of the strange and supernatural. It is a stark look at the human cost of economic change in a forgotten corner of the world.
