- Synopsis
- SEASON 1
  In pursuit of a 1 mln euro prize participants of the reality show
  engage in a deadly game: 16 contestants must survive in a wild
  forest without the benefits of modern civilization. One of the
  contestants falls ill and wants to quit, but no one comes to the
  rescue. The team starts searching for the crew only to find their
  corpses all dumped in a pit. Following the events seem more like
  a computer game that includes escaped prisoners, an
  abandoned city with a psycho on the loose, a village of
  cannibals and a zombie apocalypse. What is it - a part of a
  TV-show or the new reality where survival is the ultimate goal?
  
  SEASON 2
  A year after the contestants of a survival reality show allegedly died in a plane crash, The Big Game is producing another season, supposedly in memory of the previous season’s deceased participants. This time the contestants include relatives of some of the participants who died the year before. One of those relatives is Olga, whose twin sister Vika made it through to the final round along with the game’s sole survivor, Nikolai Subbota. Nikolai insists that the plane crash is just a smokescreen to cover up what really happened to the game’s contestants, but nobody believes him. Nobody, that is, except for the father of one of the deceased contestants, who happens to be a high-ranking prosecutor. Together with him Nikolai organizes a SWAT raid on the organizers during filming of the show. But somehow the organizers are always one step ahead of everyone else, and they turn the raid into the beginning of a new level of the game for Nikolai. Will Nikolai’s experience of the rules and workings of the game give him an advantage, or will they lead him into another trap? Which of the contestants are real, and which are saboteurs planted by the organizers? Who exactly is behind The Big Game, and what do they really want?
