Synopsis
About eighty people are horrified to wake in a strange institutional setting, with the only common factor between them the knowledge that prior to their abductions they witnessed a sudden flash of white light. A voice in their heads demands that they all participate in a gruesome race to the finish. The rules are that they must all participate and that if they stray from the marked paths in any way or if they are lapped twice, they will die. Only one person will survive. Many die instantly, but others are forced to their deaths by other racers. As the numbers thin, the survivors become more and more desperate to stay alive.

Reception
Variety wrote that "Although haphazardly assembled, Paul Hough's low-budget survival thriller is not without intrigue", while the Los Angeles Times called it an "eerie, violent sci-fi survival tale". Twitch Film commented that "while the film never quite transcends the genre in the ways that it could have, it's still an exciting, well-acted and extremely bloody slice of survivalist action with some nice surprises up its sleeve".
