Triggered and wanting to escape her past trauma, Naomi, a young Asian-American woman, falls into the world of blackjack to regain a sense of control — but finds herself addicted to the game.
Naomi has always kept her secrets close. On the surface, she holds it together — a daughter, a colleague, a woman moving through the world with quiet determination. But underneath, a gambling addiction quietly consumes everything she's worked to protect. The blackjack table becomes both escape and trap, feeding a need for control that her trauma long ago stripped away.
As the losses mount — financial, emotional, relational — Naomi can no longer outrun the shame she's buried. Her relationships fracture. Her family grows distant. And the version of herself she's been performing starts to collapse. What remains is a reckoning she can't avoid: stay on the path of destruction, or choose herself.
Surrender is a poignant and unflinching drama about addiction, identity, and the courage it takes to stop running from who you are.
Directed by Jess Dang
