Plot

Seven strangers, each guilty of one of the seven deadly sins—pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust—find themselves locked in a confined space together and forced to play a death game to judge which among them is most deserving of death.

Each of the “sinners” has an animal mask representing their individual sin.

The wolf is guilt of wrath, having injured someone due to his strong sense of justice. The lion is a former pop idol who verbally abused a fan. The fox orchestrated a financial scam which targeted young people, eventually leading to a suicide.
