The year is 2087, and the federal government has implemented a new sentence for criminal convictions—banishment to a remote island. When Lydia Brone is wrongly convicted of murder, she is sentenced to three years on Kormace Island. She must forget all she’s ever heard about life in prison and develop the necessary skills to survive in the wild and defend herself against savage enemies—other felons who will fight for their rightful place within the island's hierarchy system by means of violence and sheer brutality.

The year is 2087, and the federal government has implemented a new sentence for criminal convictions—banishment to a remote island. When Lydia Brone is wrongly convicted of murder, she is sentenced to three years on Kormace Island. She must forget all she’s ever heard about life in prison and develop the necessary skills to survive in the wild and defend herself against savage enemies—other felons who will fight for their rightful place within the island's hierarchy system by means of violence and sheer brutality.

Discouraged by the unraveling of Kormace Island’s unsettling secret, Brone attempts to earn the respect of fellow convicts by embracing her role as the Village’s primary Archer. But as Brone climbs the hierarchy ladder of convicted felons, she comes to realize through a series of brutal attacks and violent murders that regardless of her leader’s attempt to establish order, no one is safe.

While the number of enemies continues to rise during their search for missing friends, there is a threat far more dangerous than lurking predators—Mother Nature. With resources becoming scarce, the remaining women must make a decision that will ultimately determine their survival: work together toward rebuilding a new civilization, or hold onto the primitive ideology that only the fittest survive.
