Synopsis/Details
When struggling photographer Mark agrees to a free portfolio shoot with a charismatic Czech model named Tanja, he expects a quiet day in his remote studio. But Tanja has other plans—and a case full of weapons. What begins as a routine session quickly spirals into a psychological game of chance, where the rules are unclear and the stakes are lethal. Tanja claims to be part of an elite underground club that places life-or-death wagers. Mark, unwittingly, has just become part of her bet. As the tension escalates and the lines between roleplay and reality blur, Mark must decide whether to play along or face the ultimate forfeit. The Bet is a chilling, claustrophobic thriller where charm conceals danger and survival comes down to one simple choice: pick up the gun… or don’t.
