Twenty strangers. Ten million dollars. A single survivor. For bankrupt author Kurt Hayes, the luxurious and isolated Grand Hotel Summit seemed like the answer to all his debts and the end of an impending ruin. The invitation was simple: stay confined in the mountains for a few days in exchange for a life-changing reward. But as soon as the heavy oak doors lock shut and the windows are barricaded from the outside, the rules change. Under the command of an enigmatic, faceless voice, a thirty-minute dinner window becomes the prelude to a psychological nightmare. Through a sequence of sadistic games rooted in trust, betrayal, and raw survival, the guests discover a terrifying truth: their selection was not random. As the body count rises brutally and the hotel corridors are stained with blood, a trail of clues reveals that everyone in the room shares the blame for a tragedy that occurred ten years ago. Amid fragile alliances, perverse manipulations, and secrets unraveled piece by piece, Hayes must confront not only the killer instincts of his competitors, but the ghosts of his own past. Because in this game, the Host’s justice isn't just looking for a winner. It is looking for blood. "For one to win, the others must lose. Let the judgment begin."
