Trapped in their opulent prison with a killer among them, the remaining contestants must navigate a minefield of personal secrets, hidden motives, and escalating paranoia to uncover the truth before the show – and their lives – are permanently canceled. Can you expose the killer and reveal who truly deserved the final rose... and who deserved the death penalty?
