A year ago, a tragedy occurred at their school. Now, some of the students, selected in an unclear way, end up on a trip that unexpectedly ends in an abandoned motel. No signal. No care. No escape. The phones are silent - until the first message arrives: I know what you did. It's time to pay for it.

From that moment on, every hour they must point out from among themselves the person who most deserves punishment. The one with the most votes goes outside the circle. If they don't choose anyone - everyone will die. Each of them is hiding something. Each has a reason to be afraid. And only one will get out of here alive. And someone who watches their every move will not rest until the truth comes out.
