Paradise Description:

Suspense, adventure, and mystery abound during a family trip to an exclusive luxury resort.  Cousins Sam, Lily, and Jordan meet up on family vacation every year. This time, their grandmother is paying for them to stay at Paradise, an exclusive tropical resort! Paradise offers a gorgeous beach, multiple pools, all-you-can-eat buffets, and any adventure you can imagine. The kids can come and go as they please, while their parents zone out at the beach. It’s supposed to be fire. But in this place where the other guests all seem like billionaires and celebrities, the cousins start acting like people they’re not. They test new identities, break some rules, and start to mingle with other kids who should raise red flags. Pretty soon the trio is beginning to see another side of this gleaming resort and stumbles upon a mystery that can lead somewhere dangerous. And as the resort’s many secrets come into focus . . . family secrets start coming to the surface, too.
