It is about the game "cops and robbers."

It is about a group of friends who have the ability to 'possess' other people. They play games like 'capture the flag' and 'cops and robbers' by taking control of the local residents. They impose various rules like 'no guns' or 'footrace only' or 'only five bodies' on themselves. They show little regard for the safety or well-being of those they possess, leading to a number of them being injured and some fatalities.
