Description: Minna is a typical fourteen-year-old, who is urban, technologically savvy, and has the right boyfriend and peer group. But her life is turned upside down when her father announces that the family is going to live on an off-shore island for a year, and the venture will be made into a reality TV series. Minna finds herself on the island with only her family for company, and no contact with the outside world. She has to cope with new family dynamics, including the fact that her parents' marriage is failing.
