A bored high school student's ordinary day is interrupted when the classroom's Daruma doll explodes, killing a student. A disembodied voice announces the start of a deadly game. He and his surviving classmates are forced to participate in a series of twisted, childhood-inspired challenges. Failure in each round results in a gruesome and immediate death, as they fight to be the last one standing.
