---
Liza & her crew of 10 travel across the world from New York to Australia, just to name a short distance. The eleven friends have travelled since college at Yale has ended four years ago. They're all 25 now, excluding Ollia and Antonio for falling behind a few months.
The travels to China. They end up not in Hong Kong, but in a hidden city in the abyss of China.
The city barely contains any foreigners, but more fugitives. The fugitives from America have escaped and formed a gang of some sort in the small hidden town. Once the gang spots the lost group of friends, the games begin. Not only for the travelers, though...also for the citizens of China.
Little do they know, no one gets out alive.
