Film Description:

Synopsis

Henry and James live on opposite side of a hallway in a derelict building. They have a long-standing game of placing a wager on the fate of those unfortunate enough to cross their path. The game is simple: They take their victim, bound and gagged into their room and wait one minute. At the end of the minute, they return the person to the hall to be taken by the other. This continues until one of them wins the game. The latest pawn in the game is a young woman with a mysterious past. Why is she here? Where did she come from? And what do Henry and James want of her? There's more than a simple game unveiling as the secrets The Girl is hiding are slowly unveiled.
