Between 1999 and 2006, there were multiple cases in Shandong and elsewhere in which students' college entrance exam results were used by impostors. The impostors and their victims mostly came from the same county or district, and the victims were all from rural families. Some victims learned the truth years later and filed complaints, but their lives had already been changed irreversibly.
Beneath the great rock known as "The Lion Looks Back", Ding Shan and Zhang Shasha spent an innocent childhood together. But in the college entrance exam, Zhang Shasha's results were stolen by Zhang Meng from the same school, and Ding Shan, who knew the truth, chose to keep quiet and betray her. Ten years later, back in the small town, Ding Shan decides to break with the cowardice and silence of her youth and stand with Shasha against the darkness.
