Taryn Beck and her family don’t have much, and her younger brother needs vital medication to survive. Medication they can’t access or afford. Taryn secretly enters Starmaker, the most watched reality TV show in the world.

The rules are simple; ten young women from all over the globe compete to join an all-singing, all-dancing pop group. If they win, a life of luxury and wealth awaits . . . But there’s a catch: the five eliminated contestants are literally eliminated.

Taryn soon realises that reality TV is far from real – as she and her fellow trainees are pitted against each other in cruel challenges, she is determined to expose this brutal regime and destroy Starmaker from the inside.

Get ready for the performance of Taryn’s life.
