The place? Unknown. The date? Unknown? The reason? A job interview.
A group of people from across the ages were gathered – from a Neolithic huntress, to a Roman haruspex, to a Crimean nurse, to a mis-gendered pirate, to an ill-fated passenger on the HMS Titanic, to modern day cult leaders, drug dealers, and a hobo pit fighter from the near future. Without explanation or possibility of escape, 20 people were subjected to a series of group tests and individual tests designed to challenge their sense of morality, creativity, and ambition. They were being watched by their potential employer, a sadistic shadowy figure called Melchior through a system of high-tech surveillance mechanisms, piloted by his most recent plaything, the Wren Audrey Gale aka, The Voice.

Their goal was to find a way out of their cruel incarceration by making use of the tools available to them, through death, or – if they were very unlucky – by being employed by their captor.
