The Dark Man is sent to a ruined old mansion far outside the city. He is to rescue two children who have a mystical power when they are together. But in the mansion, his destiny is controlled by the fall of the dice, as the Old Man and a Shadow Master play a deadly board game where the wrong turn can spell death for the Dark Man and the two children.
