Rhys Sutton dies suddenly on a desert island.
12 million people watch it happen – before the TV producers pull the plug.
Rhys was one of six reality show contestants.
The other five – best friend, rival, girlfriend, lover, sworn enemy – are now suspects.
Because Rhys was the most hated man on TV.
What happened on the island? Which secrets did the cameras miss? And who’d commit a crime in front of millions?
