Will you play the game?

New York, 2011. A fifteen-year-old girl is found crucified in a suburb on the outskirts. Miren Triggs, an investigative reporter for the Manhattan Press, unexpectedly receives a mysterious envelope. Inside: a Polaroid picture of another gagged and bound teenager, with a simple caption: "GINA PEBBLES, 2002".

Miren Triggs and Jim Schmoer, her former journalism professor, follow the trail of the girl in the image while they investigate the crucifixion in New York. They will be led deep into a religious institution with strange rituals, and immersed in a dark secret that, if revealed, could change everything.
