Ga Yu (Zhang Lei) was originally a policeman, but in order to investigate the hunting of Tibetan antelope, he posed as a journalist and came to Coco Sicily with a research team – where the climate is cold, the air is thin, and the oxygen level is extremely low.
In this “forbidden zone” of human existence, Ga Yu witnesses a scene of human greed and a violent conflict between humans and the environment.
First, a member of the Tibetan antelope protection station’s patrol was shot by poachers, and then they witnessed a tragic scene: the poachers fled, leaving behind a large number of antelopes with nothing but jagged white bones.
The rangers hunted down the murderer in the harsh environment, but only managed to retrieve a portion of the antelope’s fur.
Fighting against the harsh natural environment on the one hand, and the ferocious poachers on the other, the rangers and Ga Yu are faced with a life-and-death test.
