PlotVince Ferro, a young construction worker, struggles to support his family amidst financial turmoil. When he intercepts a letter meant for someone else that promises a substantial payday with minimal effort, he decides to seize the opportunity. Following a series of cryptic instructions, Vince assumes a false identity and finds himself plunged into the shadowy, perilous world of underground gambling. The task ahead involves participating in a deadly game of Russian roulette, where each revelation raises the stakes, and the once harmless pursuit of cash turns into a life-and-death struggle. As Vince enters the arena, he quickly realizes the gravity of the situation and the sinister forces orchestrating the game.
Surrounded by equally desperate and dangerous men, Vince is forced to navigate the grim and ruthless competition while keeping his composure and wits about him. The event is overseen by a cadre of wealthy spectators who bet on the lives of the participants, adding a layer of psychological torment to the physical dangers. Every round ratchets up the tension, testing Vince’s resolve and resourcefulness. As the game progresses, friendships are tested and enemies made, creating a volatile environment where trust is a rare commodity. With each harrowing decision, Vince clings to the hope that survival might just bring him the financial salvation for which he risked everything.
