Qian Xiao is a young girl from a fishing village and is bored out of her mind. She claims that there’s nothing to do and time crawls at a snail’s pace on the island because of it. The village is visited by supply ships once a year and is Qian Xiao’s only source of entertainment apart from the old man who takes care of her. The two of them live in a shack on the beach and don’t have much, but the old man used to work in film and still owns a bunch of film stock that he carries around in film cans. The old man and Qian Xiao watch black-and-white films every night with the rest of the village. One day, after the supply and merchant ships are about to leave for another year, Qian Xiao sneaks onto one of them. She has always dreamed of making it to the big city. But the ship crashes and Qian Xiao falls into the ocean. She accidentally discovers a relic known as the Time Dial and can now control time. An assassin known as Seventeen works for the Zuo Clan and is trying to get out. He’s on a mission to retrieve the Time Dial as his final mission, but loses it before he’s able to bring it back. He crosses paths with Qian Xiao and agrees with her to bring the Time Dial back to the Zuo Clan a
