Story and premise

January 1940. Liang Shuo, a Communist underground operative with a head wound, awakened in a snowbound mountain and his memory was gone.

The Party launched "Project Abyss" to rescue them, but its operative "Frost" had vanished. Amidst enemy traps, Liang recovered his memory: He was Frost. Now he must secure a decade-old list of Japanese spies, which would be revealed at the conference, and complete the impossible mission...
