What looks like a dazzling global K-pop idol survival show is in truth a deadly high-stakes game. Forty driven trainees are uploaded into a merciless neural-linked virtual simulation. The moment they are eliminated, their real-world brains die. Four unlikely survivors, a comeback fighter haunted by trauma, a heavily protected chaebol heiress, a lethal mob assassin, and a brilliant hacker, form a fragile alliance. To survive, they must outwit monstrous creatures, bloodthirsty rivals, and a cunning VIP manipulator, and destroy the system before it consumes their souls.
