Synopsis[edit]
13-year-old Rachel "Ray" Gardner is taken to a hospital for counselling after murdering
her parents, but the catch is she forgot about it. However, she wakes up to find herself
on basement Floor B7 instead with no memories apart from her name and the reason
she came to the hospital. A series of mysterious broadcasts and scribbled messages on
the wall set the scene as a game where each participant is designated a floor of their
own, and anyone who trespasses on another participant's floor has the chance to be
killed.
Ray, ignorant of the details, is almost killed by serial killer Isaac "Zack" Foster, the
owner of Floor B6, and captured by Daniel "Danny" Dickens, the owner of Floor B5 and
the doctor who examined her. Danny, who has a maniacal obsession with eyes, desires
Rachel's blue, once-blank eyes. During this time, Ray recovers her memory during the
night when the murder occurred, just as Zack kills Danny for her, but spares Ray after
losing interest in her lack of emotions. As Zack has killed someone that was not on his
floor, the broadcast designates him as a "sacrifice" along with Ray, where they can
freely be killed by any floor master. The two, in the same situation, form an alliance
where Zack can use her intelligence to escape, and upon doing so will fulfil Ray's desire
to be killed by him.
Ray and Zack continue to go to the upper floors to find a way out, defeating the two
other floor masters, Edward "Eddie" Mason at B4, a young boy with an unhealthy
obsession with graves, and Catherine "Cathy" Ward at B3, a sadomasochistic former
jail guard, in the process. When Zack gets injured during the fight against Cathy, Ray
encounters a reverend, Abraham Gray, at B2 who reveals himself to be the one who
designed the game in order to figure out the definition of "religious faith" in people's
hearts, appointing the various floor masters as "angels" that are not afraid to kill without
hesitation. Although Gray lets Ray return to B5 to get medicine, she must pass through
a trial to determine her identity before she can proceed to the next floor. Meanwhile,
back on B2, Zack discovers that Danny is still alive, the latter having faked his death.
Ray is forced to confront her selfishness in the trial but survives through it to save Zack,
convincing herself that he is her God.
When the duo arrives at B1 though, they come to a house filled with fake flowers and
the stitched corpses of a couple, driving Ray hysterical and desperate for Zack to kill her
immediately. Danny then tricks Zack into leaving Ray alone in the room and lock it up,
forcing Zack to search the floor in order to discover the truth about Ray. With help from
Gray, Zack realizes that Ray suffered in the midst of her parents' terrible relationship,
and subsequently both were killed, with her dad killing her mom, and Ray shooting her
dad. After which, she stitched their corpses together to form her new "perfect family".
Counseling her at the hospital, Danny then took an interest in her blank blue eyes and
used his authority as an "angel" to bring her to B1, making her the final floor master. As
Zack finds out the truth, Ray, coming into the realization that Zack won't become the
God she desires, shoots Danny and attempts to kill Zack by leading him around the
traps of her floor, but he helps her to come to terms with her actions and both renew
their oath.
Just as they reach the exit, Danny activates the self-destruct sequence of the building
and critically shoots Ray. Before Danny can kill both Ray and Zack, Gray, having
completed his experiment, appears and kills Danny, allowing Zack and Ray to escape
just as the building burns down. The police promptly arrive and Zack lets himself be
arrested to save Ray's life.
Zack is sentenced to death for his murders of Ray's parents as well as Ray's kidnap,
while Ray is taken to a rehabilitation center due to her apparent delirium and attachment
to him. Never losing faith, she pretends to get better while clinging to the hope of the
oath they made. A few months after, Zack escapes from prison and breaks into Ray's
room to fulfill his end of the oath. The two escape together, with Ray once again asking
him to kill her. By the time the police arrive, the room is already empty with the window
broken, a trail of blood, and Zack's old knife that Ray left behind.
