mysterious package arrives with an invitation to an exclusive contest. One
that will drastically change the winner’s life. Included are unsettling
photographs from forgettable chapters in her life and a threatening note
strongly suggesting she participate.
With no good options, Sara enters the contest and finds herself at a fabulous
mansion up against eight formidable opponents, each with a dark secret and all
racing to solve seven levels of riddles and puzzles.
After a contestant’s body is discovered, Sara contemplates dropping out
when another package arrives, its chilling contents making clear she’s
at the center of a dangerous game with deadly consequences if she quits. But
what it doesn’t say is—what happens if she wins?
