Synopsis

In a dystopian future, the resurrection of one life demands the sacrifice of another.
After a mass murderer slaughters nine people, the government offers the victims’ families an unthinkable choice: bring one of their loved ones back from the dead by taking the killer’s life force. Only one victim can return.

Trapped together in a single room with limited time, nine grieving family members must decide who is most deserving of a second chance. What begins as shared sorrow quickly fractures as buried secrets surface, constructed narratives collapse, and each person is forced to confront uncomfortable truths about the dead—and about themselves.

As alliances form, tempers flare, and moral certainty dissolves, the families must vote on who gets to live again. But in a system that claims to deliver justice, the real question becomes: who deserves to be saved, and what are they willing to sacrifice to make it happen?

A haunting exploration of grief, guilt, and the price of second chances.
