Description
"El Grand Paloma Resort es un paraíso exuberante en la República Dominicana donde los huéspedes disfrutan de increíbles lujos y el personal siempre está dispuesto a complacer, pero solo hasta que los llevan al límite. Laura es gerente del Grand Paloma Resort. Es una mujer dominicana que ha llegado a donde está gracias a su esfuerzo. Está a pocas semanas de recibir un ascenso que le abrirá un camino hacia nuevas oportunidades. Pero su hermana menor, Elena, a quien ha cuidado desde la muerte de su madre, no parece cooperar. Elena ha hecho todo lo posible por estar a la altura de las expectativas de su hermana. Sin embargo, para escapar de la monotonía de atender a turistas ricos, se ha vuelto dependiente de las pastillas y las fiestas. Como niñera en el resort, está a merced de los huéspedes que le dan rienda suelta a sus peores impulsos y necesitan que alguien cuide a sus hijos mientras tanto. Después de un accidente, se cree que una niña a su cargo ha muerto, y Elena sabe que la harán responsable. En un bar frente a la playa, Elena se encuentra con el padre de la niña, quien le ofrece una obscena suma de dinero para poder estar a solas con dos niñas locales. Elena guarda el dinero para financiar su escape y, aunque reza para que nada les pase, las niñas desaparecen. Ambientada a lo largo de siete días, Grand Paloma Resort nos ofrece una historia inolvidable de clase, familia y comunidad, creando un intenso clímax en el que se revelan los verdaderos costos del lujo, y se exponen secretos largamente callados y verdaderos actos de amor." -- Provided by Pubslisher
Description
Vida is a curandera, a local healer, who has been called to the resort to attend to a crisis. A young guest lies unconscious due to negligent resort childcare. Vida wants nothing to do with it, as she has her own unborn child to think about. Laura, a mid-level manager at the Grand Paloma Resort, is forced to call Vida for help. She's made it this far through sheer hard work. Her brainchild, which pairs platinum guests with a resort employee to attend to their every need, has been wildly successful. She's mere weeks away from a promotion that will blaze a path off the resort, to a life of freedom and opportunity. If only her little sister, Elena, could get with the program. Elena has tried her best to live up to her own ideals and her sister's expectations; to escape the endless monotony of her life, she's become increasingly dependent on pills and partying. As a babysitter at the resort, she's at the mercy of guests who are only interested in having fun, cheating on each other, and getting a break from their screen-addicted kids. Now one of those kids is believed to be dead and it's all her fault. At a local beachfront watering hole, Elena runs into the child's father. High and clueless, he offers her an obscene amount of money to give him private time with two young local girls. Elena pockets the cash and prays she's gotten the girls out of harm's way--until they disappear.
