Bloody Bay
A catastrophic gift, mid-life delusions and a bunch of secrets force four fifty-somethings to sink or swim – with a miracle baby, a floating prison, and no refunds on either.
GREGORY and KATE (50-ish) have wildly different marriage-saving ideas. He's hell-bent on selling their house to sail the world before his faulty heart gives out; she's desperate for a baby to give her life purpose. When IVF fails, their best friend MARTA (49) —Gregory's ex and a once-celebrated filmmaker—volunteers her frozen eggs with spectacularly misguided generosity. A secret donor. Gregory has no clue. It's all a laugh, until Kate is pregnant.
A year on: there's baby ZEUS, Gregory's sold everything for a catamaran, and everyone's barely functioning. Shattered new parents, skint Marta, and her boyfriend MARTIN (52)—fresh from his South American sustainable farming disaster—attempt life afloat. A maiden voyage to Bloody Bay promises salvation until Gregory is seasick, the boat crash strands them in a tourist trap marina and the secret detonates.
A quartet of alleged adults navigates partnership, parenthood, and fading dreams—dropped into deeper waters—literally and figuratively—with zero refunds on their life choices.
