One hundred strangers. One private island. A billion-dollar promise. The world watched the livestream as the doors slid shut, expecting the ultimate spectacle of viral generosity from the internet's favorite philanthropist. They didn't expect the screaming. They didn't expect the shutters to close on a shoreline turned into a furnace. Inside the facility, the cameras are still rolling, but the smile is gone. Jim Apex isn't looking for subscribers anymore. The man they call Mr. Bounty is looking for survivors. He’s broke, he’s dying, and he’s designed a series of "perfectly fair" games to settle his final score. The rules are simple. The consequences are final. And in the Bounty Games, every time a heart stops, the prize pool grows. In here, teamwork is a lie, mercy is an expensive luxury, and your best friend is just a decimal point in your bank account. One hundred entered. Only the winners leave. How much is your soul worth at a billion dollars?
