Quit your job. Escape to the Caribbean. Build a dream life in paradise. If paradise will let you.

Wally Breight's a miserable-in-his-job P.R. executive who dreams of escaping to happily-ever-after in the Caribbean. When he stumbles across a run-down scuba diving operation for sale on Blacktip Island, he snaps it up and settles into paradise. But paradise has other ideas. His dive boat's a lemon. His business partner proves the age of piracy isn't dead. Scuba guests are scarce. And a free-spirited dive mistress might party him into an early grave.

If Wally can't get a handle on paradise, pronto, he'll be leaving Blacktip Island faster than a coconut in a hurricane.
