In a society governed by chance, Kaylee, a 15-year-old girl, faces an unthinkable punishment: forced away from home, and entered in a death game where she and her classmates decide who pays for a horrific crime. Can she and her friends-and one hidden enemy- find the criminal before the game concludes? Or will they meet the same fate as their fallen friends at the hands of a psychotic killer?

But what happens when the lines between reality and fiction blur, and Terzo and Alice find themselves tumbling down the rabbit hole of the madness of love? ⚠️ SLOWBURN
