When a feminist group launches a terrorist attack, the state responds by creating The Hunt, a weekly contest in which ten randomly selected women are pursued by ten male Hunters across an abandoned district of London. Mara Gorki is a successful crime novelist trying to keep her lesbian relationship a secret. Horrified by what is happening in the country, she seldom leaves her apartment, attempting to create a private universe where she and her lover can hide. But the external world comes crashing in when Mara is conscripted into The Hunt.
