NEO-NOIR PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER

A million dollars or a deadly explosive. In a city paralyzed by the ultimate high-stakes gamble, three friends find a briefcase that promises a new life—or a violent end. Loyalty is a luxury; survival is a choice.

The city is gripped by a lethal lottery. An anonymous group is scattering metal briefcases across the streets, each containing either a million dollars in cash or a devastating explosive. For James, finding a case isn't just a stroke of luck—it’s a ticket out of a life he’s desperate to leave behind. But his girlfriend Erin sees only a threat to the stability they’ve built, while his friend Terry sees an easy score he’s willing to die for. As the three retreat to a cramped apartment with the unopened case, the atmosphere shifts from exhilaration to paranoia. Ambition clashes with ethics, and greed begins to peel back the layers of their friendship. In this claustrophobic psychological thriller, the true contents of the briefcase matter less than the dark truths revealed by those standing around it.
