Hæxagon

In a near future, China’s society has developed a critical demographic imbalance. The number of male Chinese increased rapidly. Women become a minority. Human reproduction is taken over by scientists and cloning laboratories. A greedy subculture emerges, taking advantage of this situation. Ruled by a private conglomerate called the Hæxagon Corporation the market for selling the pleasure of a woman for one night to desperate men is a monopoly. The price for this exquisite virtue are the men's lives!

Set out on the remaining remote islands of a devastated and flooded Hong Kong, men in groups of three have to compete against each other within a brutal fight for survival. The trophy, a single woman inside a secret compound. Only the last survivor is granted access to this underground facility at a large water reservoir in the island's center. As winner of this fierce contest he can do whatever he wants with the woman, for one night only.
