Summary

Told in two voices, Nate Jae-Woo Kim and Kate Anderson team up in a survivalist competition hoping the prize money will help his proud Korean family and enable her to pursue her dream of becoming an actress.

When one of his classmates offers Nate Jae-Woo Kim a ridiculous amount of money to commit grade fraud, he knows that taking the windfall would help support his prideful Korean family. But is compromising his integrity worth it? Kate Anderson, Nate's colleague at the zombie-themed escape room where they work, has an alternate plan. A local tech company is hosting a weekend-long survivalist competition with a huge cash prize. If the two team up-- and win-- It could solve all of Nate's problems, and Kate wants the money to escape her controlling father. But the real challenge? Making it through the weekend with their hearts intact. -- adapted from back cover
