Connected to their Infected Undead Players via neural implants (government-mandated in the event of an outbreak) and using remote gaming controllers, Operators pit the Undead against one other in a high stakes game of violence, money and power. For the poor, the televised action on state-controlled Media streams is both horrifying and powerfully addictive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVolunteering to become an Undead Player is illegal, but the lure of fame and money attracts some to The Game.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn a whim, a small group of computer hackers and gamers decides to sneak onto the island, hoping to catch a glimpse of the uncontrolled Infecteds, unimplanted victims of the outbreak that took place there over a decade earlier. But while breaking in turns out to be a lot easier than any of them could have ever imagined, getting back out winds up being a hell of a killer. As they soon discover, when you play The Game, you play to win. Losers go home dead. Or Undead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe series consists of eight episodes publishing monthly through December 2012.
