Got the urge to get away?
Suzanne Sheridan decided that six thousand miles away - in far flung South Africa – should just about do it. This was just about enough space to forget about the roaming, evil eye of her revolting, sycophantic boss whom plain had it in for her and who had her fired unjustly from her uninspiring, high-ish flying City legal job. Here, in paradise, she dreamed of putting aside her mediocre, middle class, suburban existence and living life on the edge. And so, whilst dangling on a precipice of time and space on the edge of the earth itself; facing probable, if not imminent death, strapped to hunky god-like skydive instructor Adonis, Suzanne reflected that life could be a lot worse. A lot worse.
Yet, she couldn’t have been more wrong. Living life on the edge was not all it’s cracked up to be. When hunky Adonis fulfils her fantasies and becomes her lover, Suzanne finds herself playing wicked stepmother to his brattish kids and sworn enemy to his spoiled ex-wife. Moreover, Adonis’ weed smoking, crazy, hippy family all seem hell bent on turning Suzanne’s fantasies into a horror movie. Suzanne fears she may not brave it out and will have to retreat, tail between legs, to suburban drudgery. But is there light at the end of the tunnel? Will she sink or will she swim?
