   Summary

   The goal is to last the longest. There's one winner... and no finish line.

   Every year, fifty boys set out from the very tip of Maine on a trek that will leave 49 of them dead. The last boy standing gets more money than you can imagine and one wish for whatever he wants.

   George wanted to walk to make his country proud. He wanted a house for his family and a piano for his mom. Bill just wanted to bring his brother home. He didn't mean to make friends. He especially didn't mean to care about the group of Losers he met along the way.

   aka: get up, losers, we're going on a walk.
