Solitary

The people behind Solitary take viewers on a behind-the-scenes look into the show's origins and pre-production. The audience also gets a sneak peak into the coming tests, treatments, and tantrums that await the nine future pod people.

Nine guests enter Solitary and begin their new life of isolation. Their only contact with the outside world is a female computer, Val. They compete in a psychological game that tests their kindness or cruelty. Ultimately, a macabre sleep deprivation treatment causes one of them to break and quit the game forever.

Eight contestants continue on a grueling physical and psychological journey. They must use their wits to solve a mind-bending puzzle embedded in a horror film and then withstand endless hours lying on a torture table until one of them crumbles.

Val's 7 remaining guests ride a vicious culinary rollercoaster. After days of near-starvation, they are forced to continue eating until at least one of them literally explodes.

Six remaining guests are told that everything they know is wrong as Val attempts to reprogram their minds. They engage in a battle of wills until someone cracks and leaves Solitary in the most surprising ending yet.

The grand experiment continues as Val makes her guests' heads spin. First, the contestants lose their marbles in a maddening test of concentration, and then they lose their equilibrium in the most turbulent treatment yet. All are pushed to the very brink, but only one will fall.
