centered on brutal survival shows that push a group of desperate people to their physical and mental limits. Luckily, themoney. Once they move into a peculiar apartment building, the participants can earn fortunes—as long as their clandestine audience stays entertained. However, the group eventually devolves into chaos while facing the show's harsh rules, which mirror the inherent inequality of the outside world.

With this setup, the upper and lower floors naturally come at odds, as the group works to keep the clock going and earn as much money as possible. In this case, 7th Floor shows his intelligence by thinking ahead to the eventual endpoint of the entertainment the show could provide; thus, his and 3rd Floor's strategy is to hold off on escalating to"real entertainment" or"violent and provocative things," as much as possible.

The other participants break out of their bonds to help him, but whoever's in charge won't open the doors even for this. 1st Floor's ruse earns the group over 200 hours, and as 2nd Floor bangs on the doors and 3rd Floor yells into the intercom to end the show, the clock increases again by 1,000 hours. With the clock continuing to tick, it's revealed that the rule that the show would end if someone dies was never true.
