Based on Lauren Oliver's best-selling novel, a limited series "Panic" follows Heather Nill (Olivia Welch), who never intended to play the dangerous game — especially after it resulted in two teens dying the year prior. But when circumstances at home turn dire, she sees the game as her only option, and her nothing-to-lose attitude may be just what she needs to win the whole thing. But she's playing against her best friend Natalie Williams (Jessica Sula), the mysterious new guy Dodge Mason (Mike Faist), and the town's resident psychopath Ray Hall (Ray Nicholson), among many other seniors, so the competition is fierce. And with her best friend Bishop Mason (Camron Jones) begging her to stop, and Sheriff Cortez (Enrique Murciano) and the rest of the police on the hunt to destroy the game that's killing the town's teens, Heather has a long road ahead of her if she wants to win the whole thing.
