In this high-stakes blood sport, masked runners tear through a devastated city while the elite wager on their lives. Every runner must pledge collateral: a human life condemned to the mysterious, dreaded Coast of Hell if they lose. Mano leads the Death Perimeter, a rebel zone devoted to dismantling the race, where runners are intercepted, routes are destroyed, and freedom has no price. But when he discovers his younger sister has been offered as collateral by her boyfriend, Mano is forced to do the unthinkable: enter the very system he’s spent his life resisting.
