the sun shines over the brand‑new pic‑nix tables area on paradise island — a place built by mephone4 where food magically appears on demand. today’s supposed “grand opening party” has turned into something unexpected when an embarrassing photo of mephone4 spreads through the crowd and ruins the mood. now mephone4 has officially declared the party over and the real challenge has begun: a wild, no‑rules photo‑taking competition where teams must take the most humiliating photos of each other to win.
