José María Montes Beltrán

Every five years in a different part of the world, a select wealthy few are invited to participate in a game. The difference between this and any other game are the stakes: human lives. Gortari, the great business mogul and head of the organization, selects individuals with skills in combat and recruits them into the game against their will. For those who observe making their bets, it's an afternoon of entertainment; for the players, it's a bloodthirsty fight to the death where anyone can be the cat or the mouse. Aurelio, one of the strongest players, survived the last game five years before. It will be up to him to become once again a prisoner of the game, or rise up and destroy the organization from its very foundations as he fights against time and the other 14 players.

José María is a primary school teacher who works in Nanchital in the state of Veracruz, who after more than 30 years of service and close to retiring, had to learn to use technology to test his teaching vocation on a daily basis at this stage by the pandemic and the new normal.
