Story

Synopsis

Once a showbiz icon in Taiwan, Ho Jen-jen—better known as Golden Phoenix—vanished after reckless gambling left her drowning in debt. She abandoned her young daughter, severing all ties. Years later, she collapses and wakes up in a sinister nursing home. Beneath the facility’s eerie calm lurks "Death Bet,” a twisted game where terminal patients' lifespans are gambled away. Desperate to escape and find her daughter, she soon realizes the true horror has yet to unfold, and the most harrowing secret is still waiting to be revealed.
