Synopsis

Who is the biggest villain in your office?

A gripping and incisive psychological drama from the internationally bestselling author of DallerGut Dream Department Store.

Eight unsuspecting people receive an invitation to participate in a mysterious new reality show called Break Room. But what starts as an opportunity for fame is quickly revealed to be something far more unsettling when they learn how they were chosen - voted in by their own co-workers as the people they'd least like to share a break room with.

But there's another twist. Among them is an imposter - a mole planted by the show's producers. The only way to win the prize money is to uncover the saboteur before time runs out.

Labelled as "villains", the participants are left to grapple with the alarming realisation that their actions might be perceived differently by others. As alliances shift and paranoia festers, the contestants begin to realise that the true challenge isn't surviving the show - it's facing their own selves.

Welcome . . . Step into the world of the reality show, Break Room, where every smile hides suspicion, and every word could be a clue.
