In the totalitarian nation of the Great States, producers roam the streets of poor districts in search of pretty girls to send to the reality show The President, where they will become Lovers, ‘entertainers’ of high-profile politicians.

19-year-old Iris is caught stealing and forced to join the show. Once inside, the only safe way out is to win, but Lovers are desperate, ambitious women and politicians are ruthless when cameras are off. How far is Iris willing to go to escape and go back to her family?

For fans of The Hunger Games, Vox and Only Ever Yours, this chilling dystopia is a story of resilience, abuse, betrayal and hope.
