Ils s'imaginaient passer un chouette week-end dans une somptueuse villa en bord de lac. Onze "élus", réunis par leur ami commun, Walter, à priori doux et sympathiques. Mais au terme de la première soirée, le scénario idyllique tourne au cauchemar éveillé lorsqu'ils assistent, impuissants, à la fin du monde... Depuis, chacun cherche à sa manière à déjouer les plans de leur ami-ravisseur, mais difficile de trouver un sens à l'impensable. Alliances, trahisons, pressions, crises existentielles... Pourront-ils seulement se libérer de leurs propres schémas, de leur prison intérieure ?

The main conflict in this second volume was how to maintain the peace in the house. We had a soft reset in volume 2 which made for a confusing but interesting setup. By the end we are aware that there are controls for everything, including Walter. The team decides the best way to move forward is to kill Walter and try to survive without him. Only to learn that it was all a ruse. There's also the revelation that this is not the end and there are more nice houses out there. We sometimes believe we are in control when we actually don't even know what is going on.
