The Contest

On her eighteenth birthday, Iris, a young veteran of the foster care system, ages out and finds herself saying goodbye to Rubicon House, the group home she'd called home for the past few years.

Carrying past traumas and confronting new ones, Iris struggles to find her footing as an adult.

When a newspaper ad catches her eye, she is offered a chance at unimaginable wealth. All she has to do is win a reality contest funded by a mysterious billionaire.

Will she meet the challenge?

Can Iris, the lone teenager up against a crew of world-weary adults, claim victory in an extreme contest where facing dark histories and present dangers pushes everyone to the edge?
