A gladiatorial dystopia.
A deadly TV show.
One man standing against the system.
Neo-Rome, 2090.
Justice is no longer delivered in courtrooms:
it is broadcast live.
Inside the Arca Maxima, an ultra-futuristic coliseum, death-row inmates are turned into gladiators in a global show where every trial is voted on by the audience... and rigged by those pulling the strings.
Among them is a newcomer: #2204, accused of armed robbery, murder, and treason.
He claims he is innocent.
"They all say that," replies the prosecutor who sends him to the arena in twelve minutes flat.
But #2204 survives.
Once. Twice. Three times.
Against machines, traps, monsters... and against the other condemned, each carrying a dangerous secret: the Angel, a silent killer with an erased past; the Pilgrim, who prays for him; the Ghost, whom no one sees coming; the Chimera, born in a laboratory; and Beast, who seems to be hunting him for personal reasons.
As ratings explode, #2204 becomes the public's favorite.
And that is precisely what "The Mister," the invisible master of the system, cannot tolerate.
Because behind the show lies a truth #2204 was never meant to uncover.
A truth tied to his name.
To his past.
To his family.
And if he wants to survive, he will have to face far more than an arena:
an entire empire built on blood... including his own.
