Production notes

This HD TV series is targeted at teenagers and adults.

Based on an interactive, flash 3D online adventure video game.

Budgeted at an estimated 4.5 million euros.

After airing seven episodes of this series, Canal+ decided to drop it due to low ratings. NRJ 12 picked up the show and aired all episodes, starting on May 26, 2008.

Brilliant but rebellious young hit-maker Banja breaks his contract with his record company and finds himself a prisoner on Hitland Island.

The island is inhabited by a bunch of musicians, also being held prisoner for having broken their contracts like Banja.

The musicians can only leave the island if they agree to compose new hits for the powerful record label (DO-MI-NANT).

But Banja won't comply, and he determines to escape from the island.

Unfortunately, the island's guards foil his every attempt. In his search for ways to escape, Banja meets the other prisoners, each representing a particular musical style (blues, jazz, pop, country, techno...).
