At Tung Hu University is a bridge that was built for the convenience of its students. In the years that followed, it's become known as "The Female Ghost Bridge", and is a spot where students like to put each other through tests of courage. The rules are simple: on midnight of the Leap Day, cross the bridge and circle the lake, but when you're climbing the steps, don't look back.

In 2020, a female reporter is doing an article on the murders of the students who took part in the test in 2016. The film jumps between her P.O.V. as she investigates, and the P.O.V. of the students as they go about their business after the test, only to be haunted by some mysterious entity.

The film was released on February 27th, 2020.
