Synopsis

After the many accidents and the nuclear war of 2012, most of the earth is polluted and noxious in long term for the health of everyone, but in some rare places where the nature kept the upper hand.

The World One, which is the biggest media group in the world and have a great political influence, took control of several non-polluted islands in order to enable the participants of the game to win their permanent exile on those territories, and so ensure their future and good health. But, since there are not a lot of people interested in those games, the media group created a wilder game : a strange airsoft tournament called Midgard Death Row. The WO, always audience ratings-seeking, made an exciting drug which would be obligatory for every participants.

The arena is a forsaken hotel. To start, the players are in containers, put anywhere in the hotel. Divided into four teams, they do not have any way to communicate between them.

Before the game is launched, a terrorist group called F.S.F. ( For Spiritual Freedom), which fight against the control and huge influence of the WO, decides to transform the television game into a real tragedy. In order to do that, the group infiltrates the channel and replaces the D-Dopa with a variant, which cancels out the subject’s conscience. The players will be drowned in a frenetic state. The F.S.F. Replaces the false weapons too with real ones so an awful massacre would happen in live – events that, according to them, would lead to the immediate closing down of the channel. But, against all expectations, that massacre increases considerably the audience ratings, and the WO keeps broadcasting despite the horror and lets the last round of Midgard Death Row happen.
