Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Amber is 40, beautiful, rich, spoiled, and arrogant beyond measure. Nothing makes this woman happy, including her wealthy but passive husband Tony, a pharmaceutical kingpin. When he takes her on a private cruise from Greece to Italy, she is unimpressed at this impromptu no-frills vacation, and takes out her anger on the ship's first mate, Giuseppe. When a storm leaves the two shipwrecked on a deserted island, however, the tables suddenly turn. Written by Anonymous |
