Zira is your ordinary, law abiding special agent who's main goal is to keep safe the country that she loves. She would fight for her country and she would die for her country if it meant keeping it's peace. What she didn't expect, was that that would involve being abducted and placed into the Z-Games.
If she wants to escape with her life she must fight through the various simulated battlegrounds of Zed against others fighting for the same thing. The only rules; kill or die. Win or lose. The only trick; manipulation plays a huge roll, people are turned into bloodthirsty monsters and their hunger for winning is a different sort of hunger. When faced with inevitable death, would you lay down and die, or would you fight?
