Sun, Sand & Romance (2017)

Kate Mitchell, a high-ranking staff member at a bustling New York publishing firm, embarks on a dreamy Cancun vacation with her ambitious boyfriend Eric, a dynamic executive from a development firm. Despite their shared workaholic tendencies, Kate envisages this vacation as a blissful blend of romance and minimal work, with the latter involving the preparation of a critical presentation that could catapult her into the coveted Senior Vice-President of Marketing role she covets. This ambition is a stark contrast to her original dream of weaving magical tales for children's books, a dream she hopes Eric will support as she anticipates a proposal to mark their first anniversary. Their opulent resort stay takes an unexpected turn when Kate encounters a familiar face from her past, Michael 'Shep' Shephard, the resort's charismatic activities director with whom she shared adventures during their youthful summers as camp counselors. Shep, having swapped his law career for a nomadic resort life, is well-respected and admired, his vivacious spirit often credited for the resorts' triumphs. As Eric becomes consumed by business opportunities with the influential developer Gus Van Houtten, their vacation swiftly morphs into a work-dominated expedition, leaving Kate to rediscover old dreams and aspirations with Shep. Amidst the sun-drenched days and starlit nights, Kate and Shep find themselves drawn to each other, their shared past igniting sparks of potential romance. As she is reminded of her youthful dreams and aspirations, Kate finds herself questioning her future with Eric, even if he decides to propose. Simultaneously, Shep is faced with the decision of whether to allow a meaningful relationship to take root in his carefree life. 'Sun, Sand & Romance' is a captivating tale of rediscovering dreams, reignited passion, and the delicate dance between love and ambition amidst the backdrop of a tropical paradise. Will Kate choose the path of corporate success or the winding road of creative fulfillment? Will Shep surrender his solitary existence for shared happiness?
