The new show Panic is about to premiere on Amazon, based on the book on the same name. And this show definitely requires a cast of actors that are ready and willing to take risks.

But Heather has been working to earn money of her own in hopes of going to school and becoming a writer. Then, she’ll get out of this town. She doesn’t need to participate in Panic.
On the other hand, Heather’s best friend Natalie can’t wait to play Panic. She’s not just playing, she’s determined to win. She wants to money to move somewhere exciting like New York to become an actress. Despite what Heather says about the games being dangerous, Natalie won’t stop until she wins it all.
The plan is for Heather to cheer on her best friend and for Natalie to win Panic. But when Heather’s circumstances change, she enters the games instead. The two best friends are not only competing for their futures, but they’re competing against each other which they never imagined.
