A former baseball player runs all night to protect his dying father from an underground scheme gambling over elders’ deaths.

Years after being caught in a game-fixing scandal, former professional baseball player Lin Shengyi returns to his hometown one night, only to discover that his father’s impending death has become part of a “death betting scheme”, operated under The Elders Mutual-Aid Association. With the help of his former lover and his younger brother, Shengyi makes a desperate decision — to save his father and flee through the night, determined to escape the town before sunrise.
