When Eliza Jarvis discovers her TV presenter husband, Harry, has been playing away with tabloid darling Melody Bird, her perfect life crumbles around her ears.

Eliza is determined to find the man who abandoned her mother, and discover the reason he left them to their fate. All she has to go on is his name-Raphael-but in such a small place there can’t be more than one angel, can there?

Ten contestants compete in a survival challenge on the new reality show called Isolation Island. Each must survive as long as they can on their own with minimal supplies. The last person standing wins a million dollars.

When the production crew conducts a routine health check, they get stranded on the island along with the contestants and whatever is killing them.

The Contestants:

Derrick Bond- A 29 year-old ex-Marine from Texas. He’s come to Isolation Island to escape the demons of his past and prove he still has what it takes to adapt, overcome, and survive.

Jillian Hill- 49 years-old. A self-proclaimed badass. She’s a wife and mother of six from Kentucky, full of grit and determination. She signed up for the ultimate test of endurance to prove to her kids anything is possible.

Tucker Jordan- A yoga instructor from Vermont looking to become one with nature and test his ability to live off the land. But, Isolation Island’s harsh climate does not welcome visitors with open arms. Can he find peace and harmony among the hungry wild animals?

Stephanie Hamilton- An artist and experienced survivalist from Colorado. She can survive anywhere, but what she wants most is to win the million dollars so she can live off the grid on a Caribbean Island.

Wes Wood- A farmer from Mississippi looking to strike it rich on his first trip outside the country. Will his shady past catch up with him in a competition where mental toughness is as important as physical ability?

Kimmie Arden- A burnt-out nurse from New York who’s sick of the daily grind and work-related stress. If she can outlast the others, it can mean a more peaceful life for her whole family.

Seaton Rogers- A screenwriter and self-described introvert — perhaps the type of personality most suited for months of isolation. He wants the million dollars so he can distance himself from society and live a self-sustaining life on his own terms.

Zoey Price- A dance instructor and the youngest person in the competition entering at 24 years-old. She’ll have to learn quickly and adapt if she wants a shot at beating the older, more experienced survivalists.

Floyd Benson- A pizza delivery man from Florida with two young children depending on him. Can his energy-conserving strategy help him survive longer than the others?

Ezra Greer- A hard-nosed truck driver from Alaska. He’s come to Isolation Island to escape his dark past and make a new start. One million dollars would surely go a long way.

Ten contestants.
One million dollars up for grabs.
Welcome to Isolation Island.

A soldier returns to keep a promise — but it will prove more difficult than he imagined.

Lieutenant Jonathan Lewis is devastated when his best friend, Fred, is fatally injured on the battlefield. He willingly promises to take care of Fred’s sister and mother — after all, he has been quietly in love with Fred’s sister, Meg, for years.

After a gruelling retreat across Spain, Jon finally returns to find England in the grip of a snowy winter. Thoughts of Meg have kept him going, but when he reaches her home, it is not Meg who meets him at the door but her cousin Rupert. Jon is devastated to learn that Rupert and Meg are to be wed in two days’ time.

Despite Rupert’s efforts to keep them apart, Jon manages to talk to Meg, who does not want to marry her cousin. Meg suggests that she would be safe from Rupert’s threats if she married Jon instead.

Without hesitation, Jon sets off through the icy conditions and deep snow to get a marriage licence before Rupert can force Meg to marry him. But does Meg only want him for her safety, or could she love him, too? And can he make it back in time?

At a young age, Valorie Dawes vowed to avenge the death of her uncle, a policeman killed in the line of duty, by following in his footsteps. During her first month at college, the mysterious disappearance of a close friend’s child drags her into the role of crimefighter much earlier than planned.

Rookie policewoman Valorie Dawes has a mission: take serial child molesters like Richard Harkins off the streets of her small hometown of Clayton, CT. Can Valorie overcome childhood trauma to stop Harkins from hurting others–or will her bottled-up anger lead her to take reckless risks that put the people she loves in greater danger?

While jogging off duty along the riverfront, Val discovers the dead body of a teenage girl—and ignites a manhunt for a serial killer. How can Val stop the Shoeless Slayer before he strikes down another innocent victim?

As part of a prostitution sting operation, rookie cop Val Dawes uncovers a national sex trafficking ring operating out of Clayton, one with ties to a violent shadowy right-wing splinter group.
