Grupa gimnazjalistów Republiki Wielkiej Azji Wschodniej zostaje uprowadzona ze szkolnej wycieczki i skierowana przez autorytarny rząd na niewielką, ewakuowaną z mieszkającej tam ludności wyspę. Pozostawieni sami sobie, dysponując dostarczonym im uzbrojeniem, mają tylko jedno zadanie: tak długo mordować się nawzajem, aż przeżyje tylko jeden. W tym czasie przeprowadzane są liczne pomiary, między innymi czasu potrzebnego na wykonanie zadania. Ostatnia pozostała przy życiu osoba z klasy (zwycięzca) otrzymuje zabezpieczenie na całe życie oraz dyplom gratulacyjny z podpisem Wodza. Nie ma możliwości sprzeciwu. Nie ma możliwości odmówienia udziału w programie bez groźby natychmiastowej śmierci do szyj nastolatków przymocowano bowiem specjalne obroże z ładunkiem wybuchowym. Mogą albo poddać się grze i zabijać, albo samemu zginąć Osławiony, wysokooktanowy thriller Koushuna Takamiego opiera się na prostym, acz porywającym założeniu: Jak zachowają się nastolatki, które by przetrwać muszą się nawzajem zabijać? To przekonująca i poruszająca alegoria młodości i warunków (nie)życia w świecie napędzanym korporacyjnym wyścigiem szczurów.

The classmates turn upon themselves in a battle for survival, treaties are made and broken, and former friends become foes as the relentless countdown continues. Amid the betrayals and rising body count, two classmates confess their love for each other and swear to survive this deadly game together.
