4 African-American women +1 set off to the Caribbean for a family vacation. In the midst of fun-in-the-sun, old rifts are revealed. Like many families, they have to deal with the frailties of an aging relative. Ancestors and ancient rituals long-forgotten sooth their wounds.

Distant relatives heading to the beach to get away from work and family strife. At first all is good. But once everyone settles in at the hotel, spats and bickering collide with piña coladas and shared vulnerabilities. To top it off, Aunt Nettie’s mental state keeps everyone on edge. Maryse and Lynette regurgitate old wounds and honor their shared childhood experiences. Eventually, the celebrants reach Sunset Dreams beach and immerse themselves in salty ocean waves. Except they don’t know how to swim.4 African-American women +1 set off to the Caribbean for a family vacation. In the midst of fun-in-the-sun, old rifts are revealed.
