A game show participant is pursued by a trio of hunters, with the potential of winning a million DMark if they can elude their attackers for an entire week. However, if the hunters are successful in killing the participant, they will receive the prize money instead. The show is broadcasted live with twenty camera teams filming the hunt, and the audience is urged by the show’s host to support either the participant or the hunters, depending on their preferences.

“As an author, it's a strange process to watch your novel turned into a movie. It's tremendously exciting but somewhat voyeuristic.”
