Full plot (contains spoilers)
Zoey Davis and Ben Miller track the Minos Corporation to New York City. After a chase leads them onto a subway train, they are trapped in a series of deadly rooms. The group includes other 'winners' like Rachel, Brianna, Nathan, and Theo. They navigate a high-voltage train, a bank with lasers, and a beach of quicksand where Nathan is lost. In a beach area, Ben falls into quicksand while Zoey and Rachel find an alternate path. They later face a room with acid rain, where Rachel and Brianna are killed. Zoey eventually finds a diary from Sonya, revealing that the room designer, Amanda Harper, was forced into the role by Minos after her daughter's death. Amanda offers Zoey a chance to become the next designer, but Zoey refuses. They escape the facility and report it to the police. However, in a final twist, Zoey and Ben board a plane only to realize it is another trap; the plane begins to fall as gas fills the cabin.
