Making Waves

Sunday Styles is a passionate romance novelist with a pretty comfortable career and a size fourteen swimsuit. Archie Macleod is a Scottish-American Broadway actor who has no trouble making friends, but who has a hard time finding love. When the two of them agree to join the ten-contestant cast of "Artisan's Isle," the hottest new thing in reality television, they quickly find that they're in for way more than they bargained for. While the show may have been intended as a trope-filled, trashy mishmash of "crafting competition" and "dating show," it quickly evolves into something entirely different as the contestants decide that they're more interested in the connections they're making on the island than they are in the money. While they fight the producers to forge something beautiful and permanent out something built for ratings, Sunday and Archie battle the confines of the show, the producers, and their own insecurities to get and stay together.

EPISODE ONE: Making Waves

Sunday and Archie arrive on the island just in time to meet their fellow artists, each of whom have their own goals, their own endgame, and their own styles of flirting. They pair up for the first challenge and begin to get to know each other, but it isn't long before the other contestants get in the way and drag them into all sorts of different romantic drama and sexual tension, all in the very first episode of Artisan's Isle.
