A meticulously planned shipwreck leaves ten “lucky survivors” of different backgrounds waking up on a stunning, isolated island. But instead of a vacation, a cold-blooded game of death awaits them.
A bizarre broadcast rings out at the same time every day, coldly announcing the execution list for 24 hours later. The sudden, inexplicable deaths quickly destroy their initial hopes and any sense of unity. High-tech wristbands lock around their wrists, serving both as death countdowns and ever-present surveillance devices. The supplies and “tips” dropped from above are no salvation, but poison that brings out the worst in human nature.
Li Zhe, a data analyst with a technical background, relies on extraordinary composure and logic as he searches for a way to survive in the loopholes of the rules. The kindhearted doctor Jiang Tao struggles between saving others and protecting himself. Chen Jianguo, a merchant who cares only about profit, quickly embraces the law of the jungle...
They soon discover that the island itself is one enormous lie. The stars are fake, the plants are wrong, and even the methods of death bear the traces of technology. Cameras hidden everywhere livestream every moment of their fear, every betrayal, every struggle and every moment of despair to anonymous “shareholders” around the world, who pay to watch.
This isn't a survival story on a deserted island. It's an immersive reality show for the world's richest, with their lives on the line. But the truth is far darker than they could ever imagine...
