Paradise

Once upon a Mexican vacation a 30-something man, his partner, and a couple of friends were having the time of their lives. They ate, they drank and they danced to their heart's content. But all was not well in their tropical paradise, for lying just below the surface of fun and fantasy lay the awful truth.
For one week each year this foursome left their homes, their jobs and their troubled lives behind and replaced them with the lives of the carefree people they wished themselves to be. But after a few coconut cocktails, the truth began inching its way onto shore. A tiff here, a scowl there, evidence of reality shown as brightly as the sunset, for even paradise has its rocky shores.
As reality ebbed its way into the lives of this vacationing foursome, they were faced with the inevitable questions every feuding couple must ask. Can we weather the storms that lay ahead of us and hold on for dear life, or should we abandon ship? Do calmer waters lay ahead or will the future be filled with tidal waves of regret? Is it possible for two people to create their own paradise?
