Nancy had never met these people before. Not the man they assigned to live with her. Nor any of the other eighteen people forced into isolation to play their game. But once she begins thinking of it like a game, she knows there is only one option: to win.Max was accustomed to hard work. It being asked of him here was no different than out in the real world.

A future participants might hope for, but only if they keep playing the game.

And the question is asked: What more is he willing to do?
