Every night they tune in to the nation's favourite prime-time TV game show.

They all watch, from the sprawling slums to the security-obsessed enclaves of the rich. They all watch the ultimate live death game as the contestants try to beat not the clock, but annihilation at the hands of the Hunters. Survive thirty days and win the billion dollar jackpot - that is the promise. But the odds are brutal and the game rigged. Best score so far is eight days.

And now there is a new contestant, the latest Running Man, staking his life while a nation watches.
