On the edge of a golden lake, fugitives Zak Nine and his Quom friend Erro discover an ancient golden building and stumble into a room with eight sides and eight doors, seven of which are traps which will kill, and one of which will lead to a way out--and it is up to Zak's experience with games to figure out which is the safe door before this octagon kills them.

Traveling at night, Zak and Erro follow a figure into a cave and discover a number of other escapees are hiding in an abandoned diamond mine--but one of their fellows is actually a traitor who has betrayed the hiding place to the guards, and in the darkness only Erro's superior nose can help the boys find their way out of this trap.

Blinded by heavy mist, a misstep causes Erro to plunge into a deep canyon where he is caught by one of the giants who is imprisoned there while Zak is plucked off the cliff ledge by a different giant--but the giants are not friendly, and while they are discussing whether to give the boys to the Alcatraz guards or turn them into lunch, Zak comes up with a way to escape either fate.

Zak has been captured and sent to Planet Alcatraz's "Monster Zoo" where the inmates are forced to fight for the entertainment of the Overseers--but Erro is still free and he is determined to use all his Quom survival skills to rescue his human friend.
