When ex-Bunny girl Jayne Gaskin spots the desert island of her dreams for sale online, she decides to risk it all. Trading in their English village home, Jayne and her family relocate to their own private paradise, just off the coast of Nicaragua. And a reality TV crew follows them to film a new show, No Going Back. But soon they all discover that paradise has its secrets. The locals claim the island belongs to them, and it’s been sold illegally. Jayne’s not leaving without a fight. A fight that will soon turn deadly.
Hosted by Alice Levine.

Customer Reviews
Fun & entertaining
Good job! Please ignore others’ ignorance of the “correct” way to pronounce Nicaragua: they need to be more worldly and understand that people from different countries may have different ways of pronouncing it.
Don’t know the ratings are low
I enjoyed this. It’s a compelling story and I think Alice Levine is a great choice as host/narrator
