Synopsis
There are three steps to heaven. Step one, find 400 like-minded families, each willing to contribute £150,000. Step two, find yourself a suitable tropical island. Step three, set up your own Utopia in paradise. Cutting Edge follows Tony and Lyn Craig who, in 1994, tried to do just that. The search for Paradise Island takes them to South America where they discover San José, a perfect tropical island off the coast of Panama. Their search for the families to share their ideal is more difficult. Back home, a mutiny is under way as Tony’s leadership is questioned, and the ensuing power struggle threatens his dream. Then someone from his past learns of his plans and what is revealed changes everything.
