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
US vs UK on pronouncing Nicaragua
Brits mispronounce Ibiza, too (they pronounce it “Ibitha” so there’s that. Not sure that’s Alice Levine’s fault, though. She’s fantastic. Listen to British Scandal with her and Matt Forde if you like this podcast. Fewer mispronunciations of Spanish words and fantastic storytelling with a sense of humor/humour.
Awful, Awful, Awful Audio
So I have Wondery+ and I listen on the Wondery app but you can't leave reviews there. I'm literally 2:30 minutes into this and I had to stop because the sound effects are shockingly awful! We all know what waves sound like, so you can spare us the ungodly level of noise. My ears physically hurt! I hate audio productions that are too dumb and incompetent to notice that sound effects should not completely drown out the narrator's voice.
white privilege at its finest…
why is there a podcast about this?! i’ve enjoyed other Wondery shows but this is really disappointing. a white family has the wealth to leave their lives behind and buy an island. they assume the island is uninhabited and that their money means it’s theirs…classic. turns out they’re wrong and want to put up a fight because they paid big money. i won’t waste my time listening to the rest…
