PlotEdit
The film is set in present-time United Kingdom in an alternate history. Eight candidates dress for what appears to be an employment assessment exam. They enter a room and sit down at individual desks. Each desk contains a paper with the word "candidate", followed by a number, from one to eight. The Invigilator, a representative of the company named DATAPREV, explains that the exam takes 80 minutes and consists of one question only, and that there are three rules: they must not talk to the Invigilator or the armed guard at the door, spoil their paper, or leave the room. Not obeying the rules will result in disqualification.
After the clock starts, it turns out that the question papers are blank. One candidate is immediately removed from the room for spoiling her paper by writing on it. The seven remaining candidates realize they can talk to each other and work together. "White", who is arrogant and rude, suggests nicknames based on physical appearance: Black, White, Brown, Blonde, Brunette, and Dark, refer to their skin and hair colours, and Deaf is for one candidate who does not pay attention to the others. The candidates use the lights, bodily fluids, and fire sprinklers to try to reveal a hidden question on the paper, with no luck. White takes control of the group but really works against them, engineering the disqualifications of Brunette and Deaf. White then taunts the others, saying he knows the question but will not tell them.
It is revealed that the company in question is responsible for a miracle drug which a large part of the population are dependent upon after a viral pandemic. Black subdues White, ties him to a chair, and calls him a distraction to the group. White says he is infected with the virus and needs his medication, but the others do not believe him. Brown suggests Dark is actually a plant from the company, while demonstrating much knowledge about the internal workings of the company. This leads Brown to torturing her into revealing that she works for the company but is still applying for the job like everyone else. Just then, White goes into convulsions, which proves he has the disease. Dark asks the unseen Invigilator for help and is disqualified.
Brown tries to destroy the medication that White brought for himself, but Blonde retrieves it and gives it to White. The others release White and demand to know the question, but he suggests the explanation is that there is no question—the company is going to hire the last remaining candidate. This triggers a fight between White and Black for the guard's gun, which White wins. White forces Brown to leave the room at gunpoint. However, before Blonde leaves, she turns off the voice-activated lights, which allows Black to attack White.
When the lights are turned on, Black is dead from a gunshot, and Blonde is hiding in the hallway, with just one foot still inside the room. Before White can kill her, the clock runs to zero.White addresses the Invigilator.
