Plot

The film tells the story of a young woman's search for the father she has never met. When Penny (McOwen, of The Amazing Spider-Man 2) finds a mysterious box that promises to grant her greatest wish, she is transported to an Underworld Club. There she meets Lucien (Elliott). He tells her that to have her wish, she must play the Game and reach "Number One". She encounters a series of quirky characters before coming across a solitary Barefoot Man (Thomas Nelson). He warns her about Lucien. Penny does not know what to believe when Tenshi (Roth) turns up and reveals the sinister secret of the Club. Before Tenshi can help her, Lucien steps in and shows his true self.
