Plot

In the heart of the bustling city, two business associates find themselves ensnared in a web of shared love and rivalry. They both vie for the affections of a captivating woman, who, swayed by the charm of the more reckless partner, accepts his marriage proposal. As the radiance of new love begins to dim, she finds herself entangled in regret, the bitter aftertaste of her decision. The man she married, a man once brimming with confidence and charisma, soon reveals a darker side. His fascination with the dangerous allure of gambling turns from pastime to obsession, draining their happiness as swiftly as it drains their wealth. His interest in her wanes, replaced by the intoxicating allure of the card game. The crushing weight of defeat at the hands of chance shatters his once unyielding confidence. His inner turmoil spirals into a catastrophic decision - to end his own life. His wife, on the other end of a chilling phone call, is made a helpless witness to his despair. As he places a revolver by his head, she frantically attempts to keep him on the line, her words a lifeline through the static. Meanwhile, the reliable business partner, the man whose love was overlooked, races against the merciless tick of the clock. With the life of his old friend hanging in the balance, he rushes through the city's arteries in a desperate bid to reach him in time. But will he manage to pull him back from the precipice of despair? In a world where success and failure are but a card game apart, "Death's Marathon" serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of the human spirit, and the lengths one might go to save a friend from his own self-destruction.
