Storyline:
“Our class plays a game every last Thursday of the month.” Thus begins the Pyramid Game, where the official outcast is chosen through a vote.
Seong Su-ji, a student frequently transferring schools due to her father’s military career, has become adept at adapting to new environments. This time, she transfers to Class 5 of the second year at Baekyeon Girls’ High School, aiming to make ordinary friends and live an average school life… But something is off about this class. They rank each other through secret ballots, and the game allows those higher in the hierarchy to officially bully those lower in the pecking order.
In this place, where perpetrators, victims, and bystanders are all entangled, students fall deeper into violence in a cruel survival hierarchy war.
