In the Beginning Was the Sea

When J. and Elena swap the parties and culture of the city for a simpler life on a remote Caribbean island, they expect to find an Eden to call their own. But in amongst the mango groves they discover decaying houses, diseased animals, suffocating heat and locals from another world. Faced with growing debt, how will they survive in this new environment when they themselves remain unchanged? And, as their relationship breaks down - and the horror unfolds - who can they count on if not each other?Based on a true story, In the Beginning Was the Sea is a menacing, ironic tale of human weakness, the terrifying power of nature, and what happens when our dreams meet their fateful reality.
