Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved Bates Motel or Lost, start here.
The mood: Tense.
The pace: 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 42 minutes, about 9 hours in all.
What might put you off: Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.

A group of family and friends travels to a secluded island for a destination wedding. They've come to laugh... to love... and, though they don't know it... to die. As the wedding festivities begin, friendships are tested and secrets exposed as a murderer claims victims, one by one, transforming the wedding week of fun and celebration into a terrifying struggle for survival.
