Syra is the definition of poverty. At a mere 16 years old, she labors over ten hours a day and eats next to nothing. The only reason she lives is to take care of her four year old brother, Brye. When Syra is cornered by a strange looking government official, she is pulled from her small family, everything she owns, to compete to the death for an enormous amount of money. She meets Wess, a boy just like her fighting for the well being of him and his sister. Will Syra risk falling in love? Or will she have to abandon her emotions to win the money her and her brother need to survive?
