Welcome to The Cradle. You have 60 seconds left to live. Good luck! We will be watching you. 

Jake Fox - a "designer child" who was born to kill but saved from his creators before he could enter the path of carnage. His life was destined to be short, but Jake could never expect that before dying, he would wake up in an unknown world in more than perfect health. But here is the catch - in this place governed by the almighty Administrators, literally each second of his life should be earned through sweat and blood... the blood of others, be they humans, beasts, or alien species.

Before, he spent his life trying to suppress his predatory instincts and learning how to manipulate people through words alone. Now, Jake has no choice but to release his ferocious side to survive this kill-or-be-killed reality. For better or worse, though, he isn't alone - a girl who is more important to him than anyone else ended up in the same boat as him. Surviving is always easier with more people... Or is it?
