The hounds is an action/drama inspired by Richard Connell's short story 'The Most Dangerous Game'. In 'The Hounds', John Connell, a young ex-special forces officer, is recruited by a secret organization to take part in a classified competition for a huge prize. The catch: he has to survive in the woods for seven days while a group of hunters representing criminal organizations from across the globe hunts him for sport. If he survives, John is promised a huge sum of money to take back to his pregnant wife, Cecilia. There will be plenty of twists and turns in this season long epic tale of survival.
