Dia applies--along with the rest of the world, it seems--to a summer internship for the famed, and reclusive Louisiana Veda. She and her mother have been obsessed with Louisiana's games for as long as she can remember. So, when she gets one of the few coveted places in the internship, she couldn't be more surprised. And that's when things go sideways. Because the kids are all set on a mission, to figure out who stole one of Louisiana's last games.
Oh...but there's more than meets the eye here. One part The Inheritance Games and one part The Hunger Games with a little something extra sprinkled in.
