When U.S. President Richard Clark and members of the elite find themselves trapped in a deadly game, detectives Henry Cross and Sophie Ray begin investigating a series of mysterious abductions. A new Jigsaw follower, known as the Arbiter, orchestrates elaborate trials to expose corrupt politicians, businessmen, and officials involved in large-scale crimes. In traps designed with surgical precision, the victims are forced to make an impossible choice: atone for their sins or die a gruesome death. Secrets of the White House, corporate crime schemes, and dirty deals come to light as the detectives close in on the truth. But can they stop the Arbiter before he completes his game? Or will justice be served by his methods? In a tense race against time, the truth becomes a deadly weapon, and survival—a privilege of the few.
