Five people wake up outside the Western town of Blood City. They have no knowledge of who they are other than a card in their pockets telling them that each of them is a convicted murderer. Their only choices are to either become slaves in Blood City or else to fight for their survival unarmed. Michael Lewis chooses the ruthless game of survival. He is unaware that computer programmers are watching all his moves and that Blood City is in fact a virtual reality simulation to test recruits to see if they have the right stuff to become law enforcement officials.
