Lyla is in a bit of a rut. Her post-doctoral research has fizzled out, she's pretty sure they won't extend her contract, and things with her boyfriend, Nico, an aspiring actor, aren't going great. When the opportunity arises for Nico to join the cast of a new reality TV show, One Perfect Couple, she decides to try out with him. A whirlwind audition process later, Lyla finds herself whisked off to a tropical paradise with Nico where the two of them will compete against four other couples in order to win a cash prize. But not long after they arrive on the deserted island, things start to go wrong.. As tensions run high and fresh water runs low, Lyla finds that this game show is all too real--and the stakes are life or death.
