When a COVID variant attacks all vegetative life on Earth, widespread famine quickly throws the world into a dystopian reality. In an effort to reduce the population and make the food supply last as long as possible while scientists work on a cure, a Hunger Games style bi-annual competition known as The American Dream invites the incarcerated, the impoverished, and those deep in debt to compete. Make it out alive and you win your freedom, a priority food order, or all your debts forgiven. Many enter willingly, and few leave the ring alive.
