Rain is on the most boring vacation in existence: a sailboat trip with his parents. No video games, no friends, just floating and listening to adults talk. That’s until he accidentally falls overboard in the middle of the night while everyone is asleep. As the boat sails off, Rain swims for his life and makes it to a nearby island owned by a billionaire who is obsessed with the thrill of the hunt. Unfortunately for Rain, the island’s owner has grown bored of his usual prey. He wants to hunt something smarter, something that can reason…something like Rain. And Rain has no choice but to play along.
This retelling of the classic short story “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell brings a modern teen into the clutches of a crazed billionaire to explore the depths of our own humanity.
