1984 meets The Hunger Games in this 2018 Watty Award winner and two-time Wattpad Featured Pick enjoyed by over 125,000 readers.

A game show with sadistic secrets. Ten contestants with nothing to lose. Who will be ruthless enough to win?

A decade after the end of American democracy, a privatized police force maintains law and order with drones, 24-hour surveillance, and brute force. Jobs are scarce, poverty is everywhere, and privacy is nonexistent.

Entertainment provides the only escape, and when a new game show promises to put the power back into the hands of ordinary citizens by putting them behind the camera lens, they’re dying to control something – even each other.

For 20-year-old Sasha, the world has always been broken and she’s been alone since the foster system dumped her on the streets on her eighteenth birthday. All she wants is a safe and comfortable life.

But when her only friend goes missing, Sasha’s quest to find her leads her into a monster’s lair – and onto the set of the game show taking the nation by storm.

Trapped and panicking, Sasha soon learns that vulnerable people in her city are being targeted by the show – and the game’s true nature is far more sinister than anything the police have done.
