A one-way bus ticket to Florida offers Rodney Corso the chance at a fresh start from his dead-end life in South Carolina. Unfortunately, he'd never get to his final destination. During the ten-hour trek to Miami, Rodney and the rest of the passengers awaken duct-taped to their seats and stranded in the middle of nowhere. Their captor reveals himself, informing them they are participants in a game of survival. "The rules are simple," he tells them. "Follow the flares to reach the safe zone. Make it there, and you live. Stay, and will come tear you apart." If Rodney and the others want to live long enough to find out, they will have no choice but to uncover the dark secret that has brought them here and face a nightmare, unlike anything they have ever experienced. ***
