Storyline

Set in the 21st Century, a deadly contest known as the ‘Big Hunt’ replaces conventional warfare as a means of settling human disputes. A skilled huntress, seeking a lucrative television sponsorship deal, accepts a contract to eliminate a designated ‘victim’. However, complications arise when she becomes romantically involved with her target, complicating the mission and blurring the lines between their roles as hunter and prey.
