Midnight in paradise.

Endless stars and hot, humid nights.

A remote island off the coast of Nicaragua,

an island that's been home to an English family from Hampshire

for the past seven months.

And for Jane Gaskin,

this island has become her dream, her destiny.

There's no going back, she says.

Even if it all goes wrong and they end up penniless. But now, as Jane looks at her three

children and her partner, Phil, it's clear that something has gone terribly, terribly wrong.

The Gaskin family is huddled together in a small fishing boat, in the middle of the night,

dressed in soggy pajamas,amas shivering and looming over

them three masked men just an hour ago jane was putting the kids to bed cleaning their teeth

before they all crawled under their mosquito nets to sleep. When an armed gang threw open the door

and marched them off their island and onto this boat.

But what is it they want?

Jane and Phil don't know.

She squeezes her daughter's hand as one of their kidnappers

raises his gun.

You need to get us a million dollars or someone will get hurt. Jane locks

eyes with Phil. A million? They don't have that kind of cash. It feels hopeless. And that's when

she spots what her husband is up to. Phil is turning a soggy box of matches over and over in his hand.
