When quiet, observant Noah Imai is selected in a twisted version of his city, he’s forced into a series of brutal survival games—each tied to a playing card. Spades test strength. Hearts test trust. Diamonds test logic. Clubs test chaos.
Each win earns time. Each loss means death.
But as Noah rises through the ranks, he begins to suspect there's more to the game—hidden rules, missing players, and a force watching from behind the curtain. To survive, Noah must do more than play.
He must outwit the deck itself.
