Description

Death plays dirty. It's 2112 and war between nations has become a spectator sport. Soldiers are now gamers who live and die based on the outcome of the match, and every 4 years a worldwide MegaDeath tournament gives countries a chance to air their grievances. This year, however, an enterprising company has made it possible for ordinary citizens to bet their lives on their country's team. Winning players will become national heroes, but losers will be responsible for the deaths of millions of their fellow citizens. For North America's talented star player, Megan Mori, death can't come soon enough. Haunted by the loss of her daughter, which she blames on her own government, she has nothing more to lose and no one to fight for. But as the games begin, it becomes clear that a much more sinister agenda is unfolding, and Megan will need to rally her fellow gamers against an enemy bent on annihilation of the human race.
