Each of the four teenage contestants has their own reasons for joining the new virtual reality show CUT/OFF. The simple premise: place a group of teenagers alone in the wilderness, and whoever lasts the longest without 'tapping out' wins a cash prize. Not only that, new software creates a totally unprecedented television experience, allowing viewers to touch, see, and live everything along with the contestants. When something goes horribly wrong, the contestants soon realize no one is coming to save them. In fact, the whole world seemingly disappears while they are stranded in the wild. -- adapted from jacket
