As global media descends into frenzy, a chilling email quietly lands in the inboxes of the victims’ families: “How far are you willing to go to save your loved one? Only one can be saved.”
Fates of seven people with different nationalities, backgrounds, and beliefs are intertwined, each of them assigned a vastly different mission. In this brutal game of survival, time becomes the cruelest enemy. Who is the mastermind behind it all? What lies behind the deadly scheme seemingly destined to claim six lives, leaving only one survivor?
