Would you trade everything you knew for a new life? This is the question that propels 18 year- old Hadley Phillips out of her small-town life – and a possible murder charge – and brings her to the dazzling lights of Las Vegas. As a participant in a contest that promises only this tantalizing tidbit: 'we can take you out of your life and give you a new one', Hadley takes the biggest gamble of them all. Upon her arrival, she meets the four beautiful and mysterious twenty- somethings running the contest, and is immediately drawn into their world, replete with seemingly endless luxury and indulgence. She is fascinated with their dynamic, and strikes up a romance with the dangerous Jesper. But the more time she spends in this surreal Vegas world, the more convinced she becomes that not all is as it seems: these people are far from normal, and definitely scary. All the while, she endures a series of physical, intellectual, and emotional trials that measure every aspect of her character, as she tries to beat a daunting crew of competitors. Though she fears the unknown at the end of the competition, Hadley knows that she cannot lose the contest and return to her old life. Yet, with every passing day, she fears the choice will be made for her by the mysterious people whose secret she must uncover before it's too late.
