It's 2016, and the country is once again in the grip of Big Brother fever - but this time the show's producers are dead set to boost ratings by fair means or foul... Six celebrities fight to save their careers. Amongst them are a hot-tempered boxer, a ditzy socialite, a lusty crooner and a former MP, and the sparks soon begin to fly. But when a killer targets the group, they find themselves in a struggle for their lives. Watching from outside is highbrow journalist John Margrave. Together with his tabloid mate Darren Deacon, the unlikely pair become ensnared in the murderer's scheme as they race the police to discover who is behind the slayings. Can they stop him in his tracks - or will they be the next victims of this all-too-real TV show? The Arena is a fast and action packed comedy thriller that will change the way you watch TV; don't touch that remote control!
