An ex-cop, now working as a hack novelist, is called out of retirement to help investigate a string of deaths that appear to be the work of a serial killer but soon are revealed to be the work of the Syngenor - the synthesized genetic organism!。全片以情感充沛的文學視度,重新回顧解讀外省族群七十多年以來,寄託於簡陋眷村之中的顛沛流離命運。片中不僅引用大量的文學片段,更訪問到許多出身眷村第一代、第二代的重量級台灣作家。。
