Nine people. One figure in a fantastical demon mask, known only as the Witness, who rules the game. An audience, more than happy to watch how the game goes down. The execution of justice, both literal and figurative.
The nine were all bystanders once, silent, as a child descended into madness. Now, the nine must face the past - or die. New identities. Truth that surfaces only with death. As the circle narrows, loyalties fracture, memories clash, and the line between guilt and justice blurs. In the end, only one, willing to confront what they ignored at the cost of the others' lives, may earn their salvation.
