Despite being the star trapeze act at the Jolly Knight Carnival, Missy’s life couldn’t get much worse. Her parents were thrown out, she was forced to fight the nasty Lucietta Knight to the death, and now one of the Ringmasters thinks that she did it as revenge. And don't forget the nightmares plaguing her since that terrifying night high in the rigging.
She's living on a knife's edge—which is why, when her abilities are questioned, she storms out, leaving the Carnival and everything she knows behind for good.
Luckily sexy motorbike daredevil Zeph turns up at the right time, and gives her a lift to L.A., where they both think they're going to find what they're looking for. At first it seems they were right: The Experiment appears to be the kind of innovative show that's going to catapult them both to stardom.
But they soon realise they're now part of a circus where no one ever escapes and everyone is expendable...
