Brief synopsis:
Jessica, a newcomer to the City of Angels, has just moved into a loft on the
eighth floor of The Dante, a historic and eerie downtown building filled with
friendly twenty-something neighbors who eagerly welcome her into their bohemian
world. Or do they?

As Jessica races to unravel the mystery behind a chain of horrifying deaths
that only she seems to see, she’ll come face-to-face with the chilling truth
behind her connection to The Dante. Join her and her hot neighbor, Evan, in ten
intense episodes that offer multiple levels of interaction, including hidden
clues, mobile content, an online game and exclusive material that builds the
back story of the characters and their relationships and gives the audience the
chance to affect their futures.

Paramount Digital Entertainment brings you Circle of Eight, starring DJ Qualls
(Road Trip, All About Steve), rising stars Austin Highsmith and Ryan Doom and a
sizzling cast of the industry’s newest talent. Welcome to the circle, the
compelling experience where the fate of the story and the possible redemption of
its characters is in your hands.

Overview: Each episode consists of a 6 to 8 minute video, interactive hotspots
and pop up clues, an interactive discovery experience and a classic trivia game.
There are 40 Pop Up Clues placed throughout the series. Each time you watch an
episode you will receive a different clue. Clues are also randomized across the
audience so that each person will receive clues in a different order. One of
those clues unlocks exclusive mobile content.

These clues are the pages of Evan’s private art journal. Each Image contains a
number of clues that deepen the story’s plot line.

The Trivia Game: The trivia game is a classic casual gaming experience with
over 70 questions per episode. Questions are based on keen observation, knowing
our characters profile pages, and searching the net for answers to more obscure
facts. The video clues are interview snippets of Randall’s documentary about the
Dante.

It’s Not Just A Movie: Paramount Digital Entertainment is taking its
commitment to producing premium, studio quality content for launch in the
digital window to the next level, becoming the first studio to embrace multiple
media storytelling for Circle of Ei8ht. The use of social networking and casual
games to enhance the Circle of Ei8ht story supports PDE’s focus on delivering
bold, relevant programming where the audience can choose to become passionately
involved or passively entertained.
