Description

In a razor-sharp psychological game-show drama, eight strangers are lured into a new reality series—promised fame, fortune, and a chance to reinvent themselves. Soon they discover they weren’t randomly selected: each was voted in by coworkers as an “office villain,” and one of them may be an engineered imposter placed to derail the rest. As alliances fracture and suspicion spreads, the contestants race against the clock to identify the saboteur while the show quietly turns their workplace reputations into a weapon. With Miye Lee’s signature blend of high-stakes suspense and incisive social observation, the story probes themes of scapegoating, performance, and the uncomfortable gap between who we are at work and who we are when watched.
