TEN CELEBRITIES...

Arrive on a remote Scottish island

TWO WEEKS...

to win the prize of a lifetime

ONE DARK SECRET...

And the game turns deadly.

Ten celebrities have arrived to take part in a gruelling reality survival show: two weeks completely alone on a remote Scottish island, in the depths of winter. With some careers on the rise, and others whose star is fading, almost everyone has something to play for.

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.
