Inspired by true events of random killings.

During the night of his 18th birthday, Jan-Wen went on a random shooting spree in a crowded night market with his self-made modified gun. The tragic incident caused his family and friends, the victims, and the witnesses to all face a tremendous impact on their lives in the aftermath. However, if there were a chance for these people to make different choices at the crucial moment, would the tragedy remain, or would there be a brand-new outcome?

This complex, multi-layered psychological drama delves into the tragedy through six characters, a popular video game, and an alternate reality, questioning the nature of humanity between good and evil.
