When the cameras stop rolling, cast members start dying, and Kitty realizes that she and her monster housemates are -- ironically -- the ultimate prize in a very different game. Stranded with no power, no phones, and no way to know who can be trusted, she must find a way to defeat the evil closing in . . . before it kills them all.
