TEN STRANGERS.
Investigative journalist Lauren Taylor never dreamed she'd find herself on a remote Scottish island, in the depths of winter, taking part in the most gruelling reality show ever devised. The last person standing will win the prize of a lifetime, but that's not the only reason Lauren is there.

ONE REMOTE ISLAND.
With a production team that seems incapable of keeping them safe, a gathering storm and the unrelenting gaze of hidden cameras, the contestants are stretched to the limit as they try to outshine their fellow competitors and hide their darkest secrets.

NOWHERE TO RUN.
When a body is found, it's clear that the game has turned deadly. And with no way off the island until the storm passes, the group have no choice but to play for their lives.
