Paradise Pending

Dani Papineau is musician-poor. Her partner Jo is work-driven. After fifteen years of vacationing at home, Jo receives an invitation to speak at a conference in Spain. Dani is all in if they add a week of pure R 'n' R. But when Jo is rushed to the hospital, paradise takes a hard turn toward hell. Absent doctors, shady nurses and seedy surroundings are the first clues that all is not right in their world. An attempt to force Jo to undergo an unnecessary surgical procedure raises more alarms. And an overheard conversation makes Dani decide they have to get out. Now. Fleeing can be tough in a foreign country. Especially when you don't know what is going on. Where do you go? Who do you turn to? And most importantly, who can you trust when no one and nothing is as it seems.
