Vera is an ordinary girl at Emerald Valley High School who has long suffered from bullying, but she hides a secret that no one knows—her father, Arthur, is a former mob cleaner; her mother, Trice, is a queen of financial short-selling; and her brother, Julian, is a top-tier hacker with a yandere streak. After the bullies are invited to her home as guests, the entire family sets a terrifying trap, and her brother lures the three bullies into an abandoned factory for a "game" of torture, forcing them to tear each other apart and confess their own crimes. Behind the scenes, Vera orchestrates the delivery of evidence, guiding her family to strike one by one—exposing bullying videos, short-selling the bullies' family businesses, and eliminating any loose ends. In the end, the bullies kneel and apologize in public, while their families go bankrupt and are imprisoned. But Vera's mysterious journal reveals the truth: every event was meticulously planned by her own hand; her family were merely the blades she wielded. The real game has only just begun.
