Eli wakes up to find a beautiful girl leaning over him-yelling. No warm, fuzzy feelings fill him, only confusion, as he is plunged into a life he doesn't remember. He is escorted to "home base", where he learns that people have been forced to play this game for decades. To win their freedom, to be free to go outside the circular wall that encloses them from top to bottom, they must retrieve the gold brick, and only then, can they venture to the outside world. The only problem is; they are up against three other leagues, both ruthless, and unforgiving. Eli must fight to regain his skills and knowledge to rise above the challenge of confessing his emotions, and cut-throat children who have grown up learning to fight and kill, and who show little to no mercy. The problem is Eli doesn't remember anything; his friends or his brother.
