Harkening to Agatha Christieβs classic And Then There Were None, this high-tension thriller follows five couples trapped on a storm-swept island as a killer stalks among themβfrom Ruth Ware, the New York Times bestselling author who βis turning out to be as ingenious and indefatigable as the Queen of Crimeβ (The Washington Post).
Lyla is in a bit of a rut. Her post-doctoral research has fizzled out, sheβs pretty sure they wonβt extend her contract, and things with her boyfriend, Nico, an aspiring actor, arenβt going great. When the opportunity arises for Nico to join the cast of a new reality TV show, One Perfect Couple, she agrees to try out with him.
A whirlwind audition process later, Lyla finds herself whisked off to a tropical paradise with Nico, boating through the Indian Ocean towards Ever After Island, where the two of them will compete against four other couplesβBayer and Angel, Dan and Santana, Joel and Romi, and Conor and Zanaβin order to win a cash prize.
But not long after they arrive on the deserted island, things start to go wrong. After the first challenge leaves everyone rattled and angry, an overnight storm takes matters from bad to worse. Cut off from the mainland by miles of ocean, deprived of their phones, and unable to contact the crew that brought them there, the group must band together for survival. As tensions run high and fresh water runs low, Lyla finds that this game show is all too realβand the stakes are life or death.
