They were chosen to save their country. First, they'll have to save themselves.
Following a decade of nuclear war, the population has
plummeted, forcing the world to find a civilian-saving alternative. They settle
on the Langyan Series, where, in order to decide international disputes,
twelve-person teams from each country will compete in paintball battles inside
a specially designed arena.
Sarah Charlton—a depressed, destructive, and anxiety-ridden
college dropout—is the last person anyone expects to lead the USA team. Cut off
from the outside world, she and her eleven teammates, including an old friend
and an old flame, must rely on one another for safety and support. To prove her
worth as a leader, Sarah first has to learn to trust in herself.
But then the Series turns deadly, and as the team fights to
stay alive, Sarah fights to hold onto her humanity.
