A surreal, high-concept psychological thriller that uses a supernatural game-show premise to interrogate mortality, judgment, and the meaning of human connection.

There is a place after death that’s neither heaven nor hell. A bar that serves you one chance to win. You cannot leave until the game is over, and when it is, your life may be too.
