A thousand strangers receive an invitation from MrBeast, and one hundred are selected for a contest that opens on Antarctic ice, where a single misstep can be fatal.
The remaining players are driven onward through shark-filled waters off a remote Chilean island, desert heat that can cook a person in place, storm-battered peaks, and caves so dark a hand vanishes from view.
There is no rescue and no second chance, only a billion dollars for whoever is still standing.
When the landscape stops being the deadliest force in the field, competitors turn on one another, and yesterday's allies become the next threat.
An unseen voice tracks every move, testing the survivors and judging who deserves to live, and how far they will go to become the one who can save the world.
