When the stakes are at their highest, how low would you go?
_____________

Shogo Hatano has beaten thousands of applicants to become one of six final candidates in the running for a graduate position at Japan’s most exclusive tech company. Only one will be chosen - a decision made by the applicants themselves.

In a glossy high-rise office in Tokyo, the interview begins. All six of them are equally measured and polished, until they discover the envelopes. One for every candidate. Each containing a secret so terrible that they could ruin more than just careers. They could destroy lives.

The evidence was clearly planted by someone in the room. As suspicion coils tighter and alliances fracture, it’s clear the question is no longer who deserves the job, but how far are they willing to go to get it.

Because behind the polite mask and slick words is a monster capable of anything in the pursuit of their goal. But are any of them truly who they say they are?
