A harmless inquiry by Declan ignites a multi-state crime spree. "Aren't these challenges boring? We should try something new."
Oscar eases forward, stating, "The ultimate crime."
Rich beyond imagination, the four friends find the freedom they covet. Freedom from predictable lives has never cost this much. The murderous game they create turns against them with unforeseen outcomes. Of the four, Oscar Lloyd's past conquests are unmatched. Detectives Ray Rix and newcomer Castor Jain try deciphering cryptic letters the rich men send as a game requirement.
Unknown to the detectives, the original four, and a network of innocent accomplices, there's a second game of death lurking nearby. Changes in Oscar's life keep him distracted. A distraction he has wanted his whole life, but it causes him to never recognize he is core to both game outcomes being a success. Secondary cryptic letters keep law enforcement confused until a simple question during a reporter's scrum opens the door.
The games converge with differing intentions. The vigilante strives to make 'Challenging Karma' worth the chances taken. Law enforcement has the same goal of death but wants the state to administer the sentence.
Three parties, all qualify as protagonists or antagonists, seek death. Who gets a second chance at living a best life? And who is the mastermind behind the vigilante's game?
