Sébastien is introduced as a 22-year-old Georgian immigrant living in France. He works multiple construction jobs to provide for his impoverished family, showcasing the challenges faced by those trying to make a living in a foreign land.

Sébastien encounters Godon, a fragile morphine addict under police surveillance. Their relationship sets off a chain of events that drastically alters Sébastien's life, implicating him in darker dealings.

Tragedy strikes when Godon succumbs to a morphine overdose. His widow then visits Sébastien to inform him that she cannot pay him for his hard work, deepening his financial woes and sense of despair.

While working on his next construction job, Sébastien overhears a conversation between Godon's widow and an acquaintance. He learns about a clandestine 'job' that Godon had arranged, which piques his curiosity and hope for a turnaround.

Driven by desperation, Sébastien takes an envelope detailing the secret job left by Godon. He finds a train ticket inside and decides to escape his mundane existence, igniting the pursuit by the police who become suspicious of his actions.

Sébastien arrives at a remote house in the forest, discovering a hidden gambling event unfolding inside. Unbeknownst to him, he has stumbled into a lethal game orchestrated by a formidable criminal figure.

Despite being a stranger among the conspirators, Sébastien is coerced into a high-stakes game of Russian roulette. The oppressive atmosphere reveals the brutal reality that any wrong move can lead to death.

In front of the audience of gamblers, Sébastien is given the number 13 and fights for his survival through several rounds of Russian roulette. Each round tests his wits and luck, as he narrowly avoids lethal outcomes.

As the stakes grow, Sébastien ultimately faces #6, a ruthless opponent with familial ties to the gambler. This final duel becomes a test of not only survival but sheer determination against overwhelming odds.

Against all odds, Sébastien emerges victorious, winning €850,000 from the deadly game. This unexpected windfall offers him a glimmer of hope for the future and an opportunity to help his struggling family back home.

In a moment of urgency, Sébastien sends the winnings back home to ensure a better future for his family. The decision showcases his deep care despite the dangerous path he has taken to secure the funds.

Just as Sébastien is about to escape his grim reality, the police close in. He concocts a story about being turned away without money, using a malicious gambler's license plate to cover his tracks.

As Sébastien boards a train, the brother of his opponent #6 spots him. This encounter leads to a tense confrontation filled with suspense and the looming threat of violence.

In a shocking twist, Sébastien is ultimately shot and robbed by the vengeful brother. Collapsing into a train seat, he grapples with the fragility of life and the devastating consequences of his desperate choices.
