Plot:
Raleigh (Logan Miller) has leukaemia and he and Iris (Brittany Snow) cannot afford to pay for treatment. They are introduced to Shepard Lambrick (Jeffrey Combs), who offers them a deal; if Iris competes and wins in a game, his charitable foundation will pay for Raleigh’s treatment and find him a bone marrow donor.
Among the other contestants are Lucas, Travis, a war veteran, Amy (Sasha Grey), a woman who lost her daughter at the hands of her husband, Linda, an elderly woman paralyzed in a wheelchair, Peter, a man who had a serious gambling problem, Cal, and Conway, a man who had a drinking problem and was plunged into debt.
They start to enjoy their dinner until Iris points out she’s a vegetarian after it is revealed that they were serving meat. Shepard offers $10,000 if she eats the meat, which Iris accepts. After pouring wine for his guests, Conway tells Shepard that he doesn’t drink. Shepard offers him $10,000 for drinking a glass of wine, or $50,000 for drinking a canteen of Scotch. Conway accepts the $50,000 and drinks the whisky.
After dinner ends the game starts. The game is a deadly version of the popular party game, “Would you Rather?” Shepard offers his guests the chance to leave, but no one does so the game starts. Bevans, Shepard’s butler, comes in with an electrocution machine and plugs it atop Cal’s head…
