The Mousetrap is a new kind of game show. Instead of testing the wits of its guests, it sends them on a flesh-splitting escapade through the House, the Mousetraps elaborate set filled with traps and contraptions designed to sever skin and inflict pain. Sam and Gina, son and mother, find the House by accident, but sign the Deal willingly at the request of Jeremy, Mousetrap's charming host. As they embark upon their week-long journey to earthly wealth, millions of spectators hang on to their seats: will the new contestants live? And how much blood will they leave behind?
