Synopsis:
A group of American citizens anxiously join (with some forced to join) a mysterious cross-country race led by a sinister man named Mr. Bright for a massive prize rumored to be worth a whopping $32 million. None of the participants are told who they are racing against and nobody knows where the finish line is located. Each clue takes them closer to the dangerous and possibly deadly end of what will prove to be the biggest action-packed race of their lives.
From a man searching for his missing wife to an eager woman looking to expose the secrets of the race, each participant has their own reasons for joining the race....but not all are in it for the money.
