Welcome to the game that will cost your life.
Unai is a university student who lives on campus. He receives a compromising video in which he is caught making out with a girl who is not his girlfriend. The sender of the video blackmails him. Unai, to avoid being caught by his girlfriend, will have to take part in Valkiria: the macabre game invented by a sadist named Odin who threatens other students with making public their most shameful secrets. Unai, desperate, succeeds in all the missions ordered by Odin. He realises that even though they seemed inoffensive trials, he has actually been involved in a series of murders and crimes.
Trapped in this difficult situation, he will realise that Marta and Rubén, his classmates, were also participants in Valkiria. Marta has committed suicide, and Rubén has gone missing for a while.
Unai finally tells his girlfriend Vega everything and they both begin an investigation to discover Odin’s, the game master’s identity. It happens to be Compu, a friend of Vega who is so consumed with love and obsession for her that he wants to destroy the lives of all the boys she has kissed and all the people around her. The game will gain a frenetic rhythm and Unai, in one of the trials, will shockingly realise that he is about to kill one of the other players. Stunned of what he is able to do, he commits suicide.
