Plot

Alex, a charismatic yet menacing mechanic, and his naive friend Ricky are invited to an upper-class party in a luxurious house by Tom, a wealthy young man whose car they had recently assisted with. Eager to join the party, Alex and Ricky hope for a night of fun and new experiences. However, the atmosphere is tense as the hosts—Tom and his affluent friends—treat the newcomers with condescension and arrogance. The guests manipulate Ricky into gambling away his money, further irking Alex, who begins to reveal his darker nature. As tempers rise and tensions boil over following humiliations and betrayals, Alex seizes control of the gathering, holding Tom and the others hostage with Ricky’s reluctant assistance.

The night descends into chaos as Alex subjects the partygoers to psychological games, exposing their deepest fears and insecurities. The boundaries between hunter and prey blur as the captives orchestrate plans for escape or retaliation, while Alex’s past trauma and violent tendencies surface increasingly. With twisted alliances formed, the detainees must confront their ingrained arrogance in a battle to regain control of their lives. Throughout the ordeal, unexpected connections and revelations unfold, challenging their perceptions of each other. As the night progresses, the party members grapple with the looming danger and their uncertain fate, setting the stage for a climactic confrontation that will determine whether they emerge from this harrowing ordeal alive.
