What if, your survival was decided by online voting? On a small Caribbean island Dana Kirsten joins the newest reality TV show: 24/7. For Dana, winning the $2 million prize could mean saving her child’s life. But with the country watching her every move, Dana is unknowingly entering a fight for her life – and a conflict that will shake the world . . . Fifteen minutes into the first live broadcast, the host and crew die a ghastly death. The shell-shocked contestants hear a voice echoing from hidden speakers: “You’ve each been infected with a virus lethal in 24 hours without an injection.
