Emily Anderson bites off more than she can chew when she applies to take part in a new reality TV show where sexy singles are dumped on an exotic island, paired up, and forced to spend six weeks in the sun competing for a large cash prize at the end of the summer.
With an extremely convincing twin sister, the need to get revenge on her cheating ex-boyfriend and just the temptation of a free summer abroad with the chance of a wad of money at the end (who could turn their nose up to that?) Emily finds herself embracing the cameras, and diving in (no pun intended) with these cliché, stereotypical reality television personalities. But can she keep her game face on throughout it all? Or will a certain someone have her contemplating what the competition's really all about?
