By the time they have reached the island of San Juan el Pirata, the tour group is a bubbling pot of rivalries and tension between friends and lovers, threatening to boil over into violence. Beneath the beating summer sun, as [seven] holidaymakers lounge and swim on the beach under Cockrill's watch, the [eighth] of their number is slain.
