Synopsis:

Rudra, a ruthless contract killer, will stop at nothing to earn the approval of his future in-laws and marry his girlfriend. Delphine, a mentally unstable woman, grapples with the terrifying uncertainty of whether she was responsible for the brutal murders of her family and friends. Vero, a transgender woman haunted by the scars of her past in a religious extremist cult, is desperate for revenge. And Bertho, a father driven to desperation, will do anything to protect and provide for his family.

Their fates collide in an unfinished tower, where a shadowy figure known only as “The Commander” forces them into a life-or-death competition. The rules? Take out reckless motorbike racers speeding below to earn points—the top scorer wins a fortune. But when the stakes get too high, the chaos ignites.

Rudra’s rage turns deadly, targeting Vero in a brutal confrontation. Delphine’s unstable mind drives her to attack Bertho. And what was meant to be a game quickly descends into utter madness. As the bloodbath escalates, the shadowy elite known as “The Oligarchs” who orchestrated the contest for their own twisted pleasure, order the elimination of everyone—including The Commander.

In the wake of this destruction, an unlikely alliance forms among the survivors. Together, they set their sights on revenge, vowing to bring down the Oligarchs. But the deeper they dig, the more they realize the Oligarchs’ power runs far deeper than they ever imagined—turning them into mere pawns in a game with much higher stakes.

After an epic series of brutal battles across various locations, the group finally manages to infiltrate and destroy the Oligarchs’ headquarters. But in the end, survival is a luxury not all of them can afford.
