The high concept thriller from the bestselling author of The One - now a major Netflix series.

Eight self-drive cars set on a collision course. Who lives, who dies? You decide.

When someone hacks into the systems of eight self-driving cars, their passengers are set on a fatal collision course.

The passengers are: a TV star, a pregnant young woman, a disabled war hero, an abused wife fleeing her husband, an undocumented immigrant, a husband and wife - and parents of two - who are travelling in separate vehicles, and a suicidal man. Now the public have to judge who should survive, but are the passengers all that they first seem?
