About
Abductions strike simultaneously in seven Asian cities, and each victim's family receives an email inviting them into a game in which only one hostage will be released.

Each participant is handed a separate mission, forcing strangers from across the region to compete against one another as a larger scheme comes into view. A co-production between Korea, Japan and Hong Kong.
