This story is based on a nationally televised game show called Pick Your Poison, where contestants much choose between three secret prizes, known only to the show’s producers.
If they choose one of the two favorable prizes, they will be awarded unbelievable wealth beyond their wildest dreams, but if they choose the dreaded third prize, their lives will immediately end in a horrifying death broadcasted and witnessed by millions of viewers across the United States.
Mandy Patterson had chosen wisely, but because the outcome was rigged, her choice was mistakenly shown to be the third deadly prize.
