Welcome to Chain-Gang All-Stars – the controversial entertainment programme inside America’s prison system. In packed arenas, livestreamed to millions, prisoners compete as gladiators for the ultimate prize- their freedom.
Fan favourites Loretta Thurwar and Hamara ‘Hurricane Staxxx’ Stacker are teammates and lovers. Thurwar is nearing the end of her time on the circuit, free in just a few matches, a fact she carries as heavily as her lethal hammer. But as protestors clash with the baying crowds and the programme’s corporate owners stack the odds against her – will the price be simply too high?
‘So compelling – right up to the final, fatal blow’ Sunday Telegraph
‘Vividly imaginative and startling’ Elle
‘The new maestro of dystopian lit’ Wired
