When three of five personal assistants for billionaires are found dead under suspicious circumstances at a Yucatan island resort, the smartest remaining suspect must rely on her incredible resourcefulness to survive the full moon. 

SYNOPSIS:

Police academies teach that the criminal mind allows for four possible motives for homicide: lust, love, loathing or loot. The full moon knows differently! Five personal assistants for billionaires are sequestered on a private island off the Yucatan peninsula to uncover which of them has broken the confidentiality agreement with his or her boss. The highly educated PAs include: DANI (40), an athletic, brilliant, and brassy woman; SAMUEL (30), a handsome, edgy, streetwise Latino; LI (32), a sexy Asian with a dark secret; BLAKE (28), a polite Canadian with secret passions for Li; and EAGAN (35), a lustful Englishman, and self-appointed leader of the group. They all know that if the leak isn’t discovered and reported, they will all be fired after the weekend.

The PAs are ferried from the mainland on a fishing boat proudly owned by CAPTAIN ANGELO (50s), a short, gruff Mestizo (mixed Mayan and Latino) to the private island home of ITZEL UCAN (50s), a seductive, near-blind Mayan still mourning for her son’s disappearance seven years earlier. After a rum-filled night of bickering and zero progress uncovering the leak, Li is found bound and dead of an apparent heart attack on her bed. The electricity is out so all Wi-Fi and emergency communications cease. Blake admits to the kinky sex, but claims he left Li alive and untied. Eagan has disappeared leading the others to suspect he may be the leak, or worse, a murderer. Itzel tosses the distressed Blake out of her guesthouse to wait at the dock for any passing boat, while Dani and Samuel search the jungle island for Eagan. Later that day, Blake is found below the dock of an apparent suicide by drowning, anchored by his suitcase.

Dani and Samuel distrust each other because they were supposedly searching opposite sides of the island during Blake’s suicide. Samuel is on the dock, and Dani is secretly watching him from the forest, when Captain Angelo returns to the dock with his fishing boat at dusk. Somehow, Angelo has “heard” about the deaths. He marches Samuel at gunpoint to the house until the police can arrive. Later, Dani finds Eagan’s body washed up on shore.

Itzel commands Angelo to hunt down Dani, who also finds the body of Itzel’s son in a cave. Dani is convinced Angelo is the killer, and she incinerates his boat with Angelo aboard. Dani has a showdown with Itzel, who is killed as OFFICER SANTOS (50s) arrives on the scene. The policewoman and Dani sort out the thieves from the murders among a whirlwind of plot twists, where a fifth possible reason for murder takes center stage: simple lunacy.
