Following the car accident that ended his football career and left his body scarred, 22-year-old Luke Griffin joins the cast of Endeavor, a new competition-based reality show that pits the tabloids’ darlings against one another in tasks of endurance and problem solving. At first, he thrives, effortlessly forming friendships and even a romantic relationship that he thinks will last a lifetime. But Luke has aspirations far bigger than the show’s million-dollar prize, and soon a series of betrayals leads to irreversible tragedy, changing the course of his and his fellow contestants’ lives forever.
Ten years later, Luke’s world looks very different: he is now a father of two and the stay-at-home husband to America’s only openly gay senator. When his husband’s serial cheating is exposed, Luke impulsively joins the cast of Endeavor‘s latest season in a desperate bid to earn some fast cash. Back on set, he is confronted with everything he tried to leave in the past: bitter rivalries, shattered friendships, and crushing guilt, all of which threaten to tear down the walls he’s spent a decade building. As Season 20 of Endeavor kicks off, Luke must give everything to the game, even as he finally learns what it means––and what it costs––to face the truth.
Combining the fabulous rivalries of The Traitors with the epic physical stunts of The Challenge, THE BOOK OF LUKE offers a grounded portrait of what it means to reinvent yourself when no one will let you forget your past – especially if it’s immortalized on streaming services.

"THE BOOK OF LUKE is a delight! SQUID GAME meets KRAMER vs KRAMER – a heartfelt odyssey through the cutthroat world of reality TV. With (sometimes literal) cliffhangers, Holder expertly unfolds his story of twists and turns, taking us on an emotionally devastating yet ultimately redemptive journey of love and forgiveness, most importantly for oneself."Stacy Rukeyser, Peabody Award-winning Executive Producer of Sex/Life and UnREAL
-
“Bold and provocative, The Book of Luke is equal parts satire and drama, told through the lens of a reality television contestant in the midst of a divorce from his husband, a conservative senator. Holder writes with both wit and frankness as he navigates queer identity, reality television, and love. It had me laughing and tearing up—sometimes both at the same time.”Lauren Ling Brown, USA Today Bestselling author of Society of Lies
