Všetko sa začalo nevinne – do novej reality šou sa prihlási dvanásť účastníkov, medzi nimi aj profesionálna ochranárka prírody Zoo. Ešte predtým ako si zviaže ruky rodinnými povinnosťami, by rada zažila jedno veľké dobrodružstvo. Účastníkov vyšlú do lesa, kde v tíme i jednotlivo plnia rôzne úlohy, ktoré preverujú hranice ich odolnosti a vytrvalosti. Zadania sú rôzne a zdroje obmedzené. Územie lesa je dokonale pokryté kamerami, ktoré zachytávajú každú minútu dňa. No kým sú oni vonku, v reálnom svete sa stane niečo hrozné, ale súťažiac nič netušia. A aj keď náhodou natrafia na pozostatky devastácie, myslia si, že ide o súčasť scenára. Hra sa všetkým trochu vymyká spod kontroly a vytrvalá Zoo musí načrieť až na dno svojich síl, aby prežila, no nemieni sa vzdať.

Set in a near-future world, the story follows a protagonist grappling with her origins, born under questionable circumstances. As she embarks on a quest for truth, she uncovers unsettling answers that challenge her understanding of herself and her past. This suspenseful thriller blends emotional depth with a gripping narrative, compelling readers to confront the complexities of identity and the weight of hidden secrets.

This isn't what she signed up for: the deserted towns and gruesome props. Is this a game with no end? alone and disoriented, Zoo must summon all her survival skills - and learn new ones as she goes ...'Clever in its concept and gripping in its delivery ...Haunting, moving and remarkable' Karen Joy Fowler 'Taut, tense and at times almost unbearably real' Ruth Ware 'A fiercely imagined tale of the human psyche under stress' Justin Cronin
