The Tenth Winter

A CULT THRILLER FROM CHINA. Winter, 2003. A small town is plunged into an icy stupor. In a pit at an unfinished building, they find the naked body of a seventeen-year-old girl. The night snow buries not only the tracks, but also key pieces of evidence. The investigation quickly bogs down, and the motive for the crime remains unclear.

Ten years later, another dead person is found in the same pit. The picture of the murder repeats the first case with chilling precision—yet the person who was then considered the main suspect has been dead for a long time…

Seasoned detective Feng Guojing returns once again to the old case and finds himself caught in an even more tangled knot of secrets. Amid the cold, darkness, and the echoes of years past, the terrible truth gradually comes into view—one connected to five teenagers.
