One gorgeous girl - Zoe from Kent - finds herself in paradise when transported to a Mexican hacienda and presented with 11 drop-dead gorgeous men, all with the aim of winning her heart. But not all of them are who they seem... some of them are straight and some of them are gay. If Zoe picks a straight man at the end, the happy couple will split £100,000 prize money between them; but if a gay guy can play it straight, he'll win the whole £100,000 for himself.
