Twenty-eight-year-old Sebastian Long has been called the best actor of his generation. Discovered while performing cheap fight pictures in Morocco, Sebastian wins an Oscar for his breakthrough role in the film Checkmate. His performance is raw, surprising, and powerful-a calculated dance with sexual taboo.

But his performance isn't the only contributing factor to the Oscar win. Paramount Pictures helps Sebastian get the Oscar by positioning him in the media as the first gay contender. Sebastian's handlers work the "gay is hot" factor, making Sebastian the new gay "it" boy. The only problem is that Sebastian is married and is the father of two young children; his wife, Claire, and family are hidden from the media.

Sebastian excels at pretending to be gay off-camera. But gay protest groups discover he is straight, violent, and self-serving. Every film studio wants Sebastian to play a gay role in their next picture. But all of that changes when Sebastian arrives with his wife at the Oscar ceremony and kisses her on international television, triggering Paramount to initiate legal proceedings for breach of contract. These proceedings have a decided impact on Sebastian's future career.

Two best friends plus two best friends equal a new formed sisterhood. Best friends Lisa and Tanya decide to travel to the Island of Barbados for vacation. Once Lisa's friend Keisha becomes aware of their plans, she informs Lisa that she desires to join them. She also wishes to invite her best friend Rachel to come along. Three of the ladies have previously visited the island, but for the fourth lady, it will be an entirely new experience. Come join them on their trip as they let their hair down, explore areas that they would have avoided in the U.S. and just wild out. It's time to shut the island down. The four of them travel to partake in fun and games when one of the games develops into an unexpected situation for one of them. This situation is definitely not what she went searching for, but she will be returning to the island alone to continue it. Her new formed sisterhood believes it's unsafe due to her receiving disturbing calls and texts on a daily basis from a seemingly deranged person on that island. Is the situation that she discovered worth ignoring the minuscule amount of fear that she has developed deep inside? When you're in love with the idea of being in love, it will cause you to behave unusual. Is this game guaranteed to evolve into a lifetime adventure or does she have, UNREASONABLE EXPECTATIONS? For now, let's just pray that she returns back to the U.S. safely.
