Synopsis

At the start of this exciting adaptation of Alex Garland's best-seller we me meet Richard, an aimless American backpacker who's after a serious, life-changing experience, the promise of which he gets when a chance encounter sees him get hold of a map to a promised island paradise where he'll find the perfect beach. With a French couple in tow, Richard heads off and, sure enough, everything seems too good to be true, and of course it is.
