Senior entertainment journalist Liu Chih Chun's career is thrown into turmoil when her junior colleague, Lin Pei Ting, dies under mysterious circumstances at a scandalous party. As the magazine's reputation hangs in the balance, Chih Chun embarks on a dangerous investigation to uncover the truth. With only Lin's cryptic notes to guide her, she ventures into the hidden shadows of the entertainment industry, determined to reveal a story far bigger than anyone imagined.

A mother and her two daughters move to Taipei to open a noodle stand at a vibrant night market, but family secrets and tradition test their fresh start.

Inspired by a true incident rooted in Taiwanese folk beliefs, To Set a Spirit Free begins with a religious fish-release ritual that takes an unexpected turn—someone brings a fish home instead of setting it free. Days later, an elderly man named Sheng-Bo mysteriously disappears. A local temple deity declares that he may have blocked a wandering soul’s path to reincarnation—and has been taken by a ghost. What begins as an act of kindness spirals into fear, accusation, and superstition. As rumors multiply and blame shifts from one person to another, the community slowly confronts an unsettling truth: sometimes, there is no one to blame. When facts fail us, what do we choose to believe—and why? With dark humor and quiet spiritual tension, the film explores faith, folklore, and the stories people create to make sense of the unknown.
