The clock is ticking . . .

Andy and three other kids wake up in a locked room.

The room has no windows, but it has a locked green door, with a countdown clock above it.

They have less than an hour to figure out how to get out of this room. But when they do . . .?

There's another locked room, and more locked doors. And they can't go back.

High concept, high stakes, high emotions - this story packs a punch and you won't be able to put it down.

'It feels like a video game wrapped in an escape room inside a book.' TRISTAN BANCKS, author of Scar Town
