Minsu, a former special forces mercenary, now lives on the streets of Seoul.
One night near Seoul Station, a mysterious black van pulls up. A man offers him a one-night job: a social experiment, paying 300,000 won. With nothing to lose, Minsu and several others accept.
They are taken to a sealed room on the 30th floor of an unknown building. Inside, a lavish feast awaits. Starving, they eat without question — but the room has no windows, only CCTV cameras watching from every angle.
Then, a drone descends from the ceiling.
Gunshots ring out. One man drops. Panic sets in as the drone opens fire indiscriminately.
The hunt has begun.
Why were they brought here? Who is behind this deadly game? And what secrets lie on the 51st floor — where the true hunters wait?
