VS - Act 2: The Grind – “Every Strike, Every Cut”

Act 2: The Grind – “Every Strike, Every Cut”
The violence intensifies in Act 2, as alliances form and fall apart under the constant threat of death. Dana and Randall, once friends in the outside world, find themselves trapped in separate cages, trying to stay alive while watching others be cut down around them. The Promoter keeps the audience of faceless billionaires entertained with twisted commentary, while the Executioner steps in when a contestant refuses to play by the rules.

Dana’s first match pits her against The Bum, a hulking figure with nothing to lose. But Dana, resourceful and determined, proves that survival requires more than brute strength—it demands cunning, and the will to do what’s necessary, no matter how horrific. She survives, barely, but the trauma of killing leaves a stain that no amount of blood can wash away.

Meanwhile, Randall’s skills as a programmer are no longer an asset; they make him a target. As each fight passes, he becomes more entangled in the conspiracy behind Versus, uncovering clues that suggest the tournament isn’t just a sick game—it’s a lucrative, global operation, and those pulling the strings are untouchable.

The middle act delves into the psyche of the captives as they’re forced to confront their worst selves. Friendships turn to betrayals, and desperation pushes even the most moral characters to do the unthinkable. When the Bodybuilder and the Gangsta square off in a bone-crushing battle, it becomes clear: no one can be trusted. No one is safe.

About VS: "Sixteen people. Three rounds. One survivor. Welcome to the Versus Tournament, where everyday people must fight to the death—live-streamed for the darkest corners of the web. A brutal, high-stakes competition where only one escapes with their life... if they can survive the blood-soaked horrors within."

Inspired by the dark and twisted imaginations of Scott Sigler, Versus is a full-cast performance podcast where Saw meets Gladiator in a terrifying, action-packed three-part saga. With Academy worthy sound design and a cinematic score that will leave you on edge, every moment is crafted to plunge listeners into the terrifying brutality of the tournament.
