Une journaliste infiltrée dans une téléréalité, mais jusqu'où les candidats sont-ils prêt à aller pour gagner une place au paradis ?
92 caméras, 8 participants, 1 lieu paradisiaque : bienvenue dans La Villa...
Au fond, le principe de cette émission de télé-réalité est d'une simplicité biblique : il s'agit de séduire. L'autre sexe, d'abord. Mais surtout le public. Car c'est lui qui vote. Lui qui décide - de tout. Des milliers de spectateurs, branchés vingt-quatre heures sur vingt-quatre, jouent les marionnettistes d'un nouveau genre.
Appât du gain, buzz à tout prix, cruautés psychologiques, voyeurisme : peu à peu, l'ambiance à la villa se fait oppressante. Les audiences grimpent, les masques tombent - et bientôt les cadavres... -

Just when Ava couldn't feel any lower, she receives the news that her grandfather has passed away. She is devastated as they were once very close. When Ava was a child, she used to spend her summers picking grapes on her grandfather's vineyard in Provence, before a rift between his daughters tore the family apart. They hadn't seen each other for years, which is why Ava is shocked to learn her grandfather has left money to her sister, Olivia, but his entire vineyard, Chateau Montrose, to her. What does Ava know about making wine?
