    Synopsis:

    Every twelve years, a brutal contest of skill and endurance unfolds within a forgotten urban landscape. The Zodiac Tournament draws twelve warriors, each embodying the characteristics of a Chinese zodiac animal – a blend of formidable strength, strategic intellect, and lethal proficiency. Driven by honor and the desperate hope for a single wish granted to the victor, these combatants engage in a relentless fight for survival.

    The tournament's stakes are heightened by a deadly condition: each warrior consumes a poisonous gem, limiting their time and accelerating their demise. This creates a palpable atmosphere of urgency and desperation as they navigate a landscape haunted by the ghosts of past participants. The series explores themes of mortality, ambition, and the true cost of victory amidst visceral, close-quarters combat.
