Story
In a not-too-distant future where entertainment has turned bloodthirsty, the powerful TEC1 corporation transforms convicted prisoners into unwilling stars of the world’s most brutal survival show: SCUM. Dropped onto a deadly island, inmates must fight, hunt, craft, and outsmart both each other and the horrors engineered to keep viewers watching. Every kill, escape, alliance, and betrayal feeds the broadcast, earning fame, sponsors, and the faint hope of survival. But on SCUM Island, freedom is never guaranteed, death may not be the end, and every desperate choice is part of the show.
