In 2026, in the midst of the Great Depression, the government begins conducting the Great Lottery in California. The legal winner is considered the holder of the winning ticket, or anyone who kills him before sunset without using a firearm. In 2030, in Los Angeles, an aspiring actress named Katie arrives for a casting and is immediately drawn into a string of not-so-pleasant events. When Jack Neve's hands accidentally come into possession of a winning lottery ticket worth 3.6 billion dollars, the entire city races after her with the sole aim of killing her and seizing the ticket.
