When Logan is approached by a stranger with an offer that seems too good to be true – a chance to win millions of dollars in cash on Black Friday – he knows it’s his only chance to help his friend. What he doesn’t know is that he will find himself locked in a shopping mall with dozens of other desperate contestants.

And the only way to win is to kill them.

As well as Logan, a single mother, an online model, a crooked cop and a college student join the throngs of players that will be forced to turn to savage violence. Not just to win, but to survive a game orchestrated by a madman. A contest broadcast for the entertainment of the sickest, most depraved individuals on the dark web.

There he meets Agent Duncan Burke, a man willing to risk everything for the greater good, and Rebecca Pendleton, an analyst with an equally troubled relationship with faith.
