When medical student Lea Neumann takes part in a TV show, she has no idea that the harmless-sounding “Halloween Challenge” will change her life forever. Four hours of live show, one hundred thousand euros in prize money – enough to finance her studies and her mother’s operation. But the price is high: with each challenge, the boundaries between entertainment and humiliation become more blurred.
What begins as a game show develops into a ruthless reckoning with the double standards of our society. Lea has to make a decision: Give up and sacrifice her future? Or persevere to the end and endure the media pillory?
A novel about shame and self-determination, about financial constraints and the question of how far a person is prepared to go for their dreams. And about what happens when a young woman refuses to be ashamed of her decisions.
