Win and All Your Dreams Come True ! ;)
Charlie and his friends have entered the God Game.
Tasks are delivered through their phones. When they accomplish a mission, the game rewards them. Charlie's money problems could be over. Vanhi can erase the one bad grade on her university application. It's all fun and games - at first.
Then the threatening messages start.
Obey me.
Mysterious packages show up at their homes. Shadowy figures start following them. Who else is playing this game, and how far will they go to win?
As Charlie looks for a way out, there's only one rule he knows for sure.
If you die in the game, you die for real.
