The room serves as both their prison and battleground, where the five soldiers and the stranger, Evan, are coerced into a harrowing game of life and death. The arsenal at their disposal includes an ax, a knife, a gun with a single bullet, and the hauntingly familiar artificial intelligence voice of First Sergeant Maxwell Brenner, who is trapped with them. The accusations of rape hang heavy in the air, each participant entangled in a web of guilt and uncertainty.
