The film mainly tells the story of a flight attendant who, unable to endure long-term domestic violence, cruelly kills her husband on a stormy night and secretly wishes for death. Ultimately, with the help of a legal aid lawyer, she regains her confidence in life. In a dimly lit and messy room, Ouyang Zhihong, dressed in tattered clothes, with a swollen, bloodied corner of her mouth, disheveled hair, and a desperate look in her eyes, drags a golf club barefoot towards the living room sofa. Zhihong's expression changes from cold to angry as she raises the golf club and violently strikes Zhang Ziying amidst the thunder and lightning. A glass jar filled with paper cranes shatters on the table, glass shattering everywhere, paper cranes scattered all over the floor. On the wall, there are photos of Zhihong dressed in her flight attendant uniform and a family portrait of three stained with blood, while the white paper cranes lying on the ground are dyed red with her blood. As Ouyang Zhihong's legal aid lawyer, Zhang Tong goes to the detention center to understand the situation. Seeing that Zhihong has already given up on life, Zhang Tong feels there must be more to the story behind the case. Eager and anxious, Zhang Tong quickly starts an investigation. She visits the detention center multiple times, talking with Ouyang Zhihong and sharing her own experiences to encourage Zhihong to stay strong for her son, Duoduo, and not give up. After much effort, Zhihong reveals the truth about Zhang Ziying's drug use and two years of domestic violence against her. Zhang Tong discovers footage from an intelligent robot showing Zhang Ziying's inhumane abuse of Ouyang Zhihong, as well as video evidence of Zhang Ziying using drugs. However, on the day of the trial, Zhang Tong is involved in a car accident. With the assistance of Mao Yi, Zhang Tong manages to make it to the court. The judge ultimately finds Ouyang Zhihong guilty of murder, but due to Zhang Ziying's drug use and abusive behavior, the sentence is reduced, and she is sentenced to 15 years in prison. Three months later, wearing prison clothes, Zhihong is exercising in the prison yard, while outside the high walls, Zhang Tong runs with Duoduo controlling a drone that tows a string of paper cranes, fluttering a banner that reads, "Mom, keep going! I love you!"
