Panic
Let the game begin.
In the forgotten town of Carp, Texas, Panic is the only way out. Every summer the graduating seniors risk their lives competing in a series of challenges for the chance to win life-changing money. After the death of two players the stakes—and danger—have never been higher.

Ep 1Panic
The newly graduated seniors await the kickoff signal from this year's judges, and tensions build as old friends become new competitors. Heather has sworn she will never play the game, but she may not have a choice.
Ep 2Heights
Twenty-three players are in, and the stakes are high--literally. Panic's second challenge takes the players sky-high, even as the game attracts the attention of the sheriff and his deputies who are dead set on stopping it. The new kid's odds are looking up until a bit of surprise sabotage.
Ep 3Traps
The town celebrates the fourth of July with a parade, but one float carries an old ghost, and coded instructions that call the players to a third challenge. A nighttime raid on a dangerous property and some surprise alliances mean Heather will have to seriously watch her step.
Ep 4Escape
Narrow escapes take on literal meaning as a disastrous series of events at the third challenge puts all the players' lives in danger. Luckily, the players get a short break at the annual Player's Ball, where sparks fly unexpectedly between competitors, and old trouble returns to cause new problems.
Ep 5Phantoms
The players brave a night at the local haunted house, where ghosts new and old make themselves known. The answer to a riddle reveals the game's troubled legacy, Heather's goals almost go up in smoke, and we learn that one of Panic's loudest detractors has a secret connection to the game.
Ep 6Dead End
The annual demolition derby provides some much-needed distraction from the troubling revelations of the previous episode. With the cops closing in on the judges, no one is sure the game can continue. Heather repairs one relationship, and ruptures another, in a dramatic ending that proves the game must go on...but not for everyone.
