What you need to know before your trail

The contestants are hungry to prove themselves. The stakes are high and losing is not an option. But three weeks and eighteen episodes later, five of the six contestants sit in a Portuguese police station, and none of them are winners.

Because twelve million people were watching when Rhys Sutton died on camera, and someone must pay for the crime.

The best friend, the rival, the girlfriend, the lover, and the sworn enemy are left standing. And of course, no-one is talking. But how do you keep secrets when the world has been watching?

Especially when, just a day before his murder, Rhys was the most hated man on television.

Travel Guide

Portugal

The location is vague and fictional but the story takes place on an island off the coast of Portugal. There are a few on the map but that’s the best part – it could be any island and you wouldn’t be able to go there anyway. You wouldn’t get off if you did!

This is a locked room story and a reality show on an island sounds great but wait until you get there and there’s a murder live on screen. THAT is not what you signed up for was it?
