Kiss, Marry, Kill
PLAY THE GAME follows three thirtysomething friends and cofounders of a wellness app, on the verge of professional success but all with secrets to hide, as they play an innocent game of “f*ck, marry, kill” at their company summer retreat, only to wake the next morning in an alternate universe where their selections in the game have become their new reality, for fans of The Change and The Husbands.
Aubrey, Ilena, and Mallory have it all: best friends and cofounders of an extremely successful health & wellness app, they’re on the verge of all the professional success they ever dreamed of. AIM is set to go public in one week, boosting their image, their level of awareness, not to mention their bank accounts.
But that doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. Aubrey and her fiancé just broke up. Ilena’s husband just asked her for a divorce. And Mallory is fuming: she’s been having an affair with their company’s biggest investor for the past year, and not only has she been lying to her friends about it, he’s been lying it her, and about information that could jeopardize their IPO.
That’s how they find themselves the night of the company retreat, to kick of AIM’s launch week, tucked away in a corner, fantasizing about a life where the grass really is greener on the other side. They engage in an innocent game of FMK, using those present as inspiration for their daydreams. Aubrey would just love to be sleeping with someone like him, the twenty-seven-year-old graphic designer they just hired last month. Ilena would happily be married to someone like him, their smart and stable and always kind general counsel. And Mallory—well Mallory is still so mad she could just kill him.
The three women wake the next morning in a world that looks very similar to theirs, but is very, very different: each of their personal picks from the game have come true. And with a dead body on Mallory’s hands, the women only have so much time to figure out what happened and if they can get back to their real lives. Told alternately from the perspectives of three best friends, this Sliding Doors-esque story will make you appreciate your own color of grass, even if it’s not always the perfect shade of green.
