Film Description:
A female writer whose life-work was plagiarized by her ex-husband dies, her head left abandoned in the wilderness. A rock vocalist, desperate to alter his voice yet ruined by a botched vocal-cord surgery, takes his own life by lying on the railway tracks. On a storm-thunder night, their blood mingles. The writer’s head fuses with the vocalist’s body, forming a stitched-together new being.
Two souls inhabit one body, locked in constant confrontation and coexistence. To reclaim her stolen writings, she competes on China’s Best Singer under the anonymous alias “Hell’s Voice”. Powered by her ferocious extreme metal black vocals, she advances all the way to the finals. Yet petrifying cracks keep spreading across her body, and time is running out.
The finals stream live nationwide, watched by 15 million online viewers. Before millions of eyes, instead of singing, she enacts a brutal act of vengeance.
