Firefly

Every small town has a secret. Ours has a game. The losers stay here where losing is what we do best. The winners get out. In Carp, Texas, out is the only place worth going. That's why players risk their lives to win.

But the game isn't meant to kill you, and it won't... if you follow one rule.

Don't panic.

The truth is Panic started like a lot of things around here... because it was summer and there was nothing else to do. The game had always started right after graduation and lasted throughout the summer. All graduating seniors are eligible to play. Sometimes 40 players enter, sometimes half that. But there is only one winner.

Each year there are new challengers, new players, new judges. But the game has ghosts too. We never have to say their names... they know where to find us. They know we aren't going anywhere.

Not unless we play.
