Martin Fallaway is dying. With no family to leave his surplus fortune to, he holds a contest where ten families compete on his tropical island, to be the last team left to claim the prize of thirty million dollars.

Arriving on the island, the contestants' need for shelter is paramount, but the warm sunny days, powder-white sand and crystal clear waters cloak their perspectives. When the first storm hits, causing the first departure, the contestants realise their time on the island might not be as idyllic as they first thought.

As the days tick slowly by, hidden dangers begin to manifest themselves, insecurities creep in, personalities change, inquisitive minds take over, secrets become lies, reckless decisions made, change their lives forever and when the unthinkable happens to the remaining four families and their very existence is threatened, the island becomes their darkest nightmare.

With time running out and their trust in one another challenged, can they bury their consciences and risk everything or will the emotional sacrifice be too great, leaving them with no choice, but to walk away.

When a contest held on an island takes a sinister turn, the remaining contestants' trust in one another is destroyed, as they head down a path of greed and revenge.
