The Nightlock Games | work in progress

In the country of Panem, a singing reality TV show about Panem's brightest young musical stars is the most popular annual event since Christmas and Halloween.

This year marks the 74th annual Nightlock Games, a highly popular, publicised, and televised singing competition. In each District, one lucky school is chosen to be represented in that year's Games, with two teams of six participating for a chance to win. Tributes and teams are eliminated until a single victor remains. The winner of the competition will receive a chance to pursue a successful career in music plus a million dollars, while the school they are representing will receive an extra $1, 000, 000 added to their budget.

Mockingjay High is chosen as the representing school for District 12. But when rivals Peeta Mellark and Katniss Everdeen, arguably the most talented students in the school, are placed on opposite teams as representatives for Mockingjay High, will their burning hatred for each other ruin the school's chances at victory, or will it force them to admit that there was anything but hatred between them all along?
