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.

Customer Reviews
Episode six problem.
I was super into the story then episode 6 goes silent for a good 10 min. I can’t figure out the story!
Unworthy of Wondery
The story of Janique is mildly interesting, but there’s not much to it, a fact apparently not lost on the producers of this podcast. In order to pad the content, they’ve added an entirely unrelated murder story, that is simply a distraction from the story we tuned in to hear.
Addictive!
Great reporting and love the host. This story is wild!
