Synopsis

Zheng Kaisi, burdened with millions of debts due to being deceived by a friend, faces his seriously ill mother and Liu Qing, his childhood sweetheart who has been waiting for him faithfully. He determines to board the "Fate" cruise ship to change his life of mediocrity. As long as he can win in the games on the ferry, he will have a chance to clear his debts and provide a better life for his family.

The game seems simple, with participants using playing cards marked with "rock, paper, scissors" as props to win the star symbols from their opponents. However, the ruthless gamblers on the cruise ship engage in relentless cheating and competition, exposing the selfishness and cruelty of human nature. With layers of deception and hidden schemes, the game ultimately devolves into an "animal world" arena of savage competition.
