Godly

A “DEFYING THE ODDS” FILM
WRITTEN BY Nix J.

Niko, a young man, is on a hot win streak in the luck-based dice game 'tai sai' in a casino. He seems unstoppable, as all his guesses are turning out right. The casino's goons however suspect Niko of cheating and throw him out of the casino without a dime. Niko, believing his only chance of making any money has been taken away from him, starts drinking heavily, something he's recently tried hard to avoid, as it seems to drain his 'Godly' luck.


The next morning, a mysterious man who goes by the name of Zin, shows up at Niko's hotel room. Witnessing Niko's incredible win streak the night before, Zin offers Niko a chance to win money in a gamble against an unknown opponent. Niko takes the chance and finds himself facing a man in a simple luck-based dice game. At first, Niko seems to be losing, but when he starts to feel his 'Godly' power come back, he becomes invincible and slays his opponent.


Zin, impressed by Niko's performance, offers Niko another chance to make money in gambling, this time where the stakes are much higher. Without much hesitation, Niko accepts the offer and soon finds himself in an underground location with eleven other elite gamblers. The prize is $500,000 and will be awarded to the sole winner. The winner must survive a series of unique and psychological games in order to get their hands on the prize money. In a dangerous game filled with high level players, is Niko's 'Godly' gift enough for him to come out on top?
