All Wayne wanted was just a little solitude in his favourite vacation resort: bright sunshine over head, soft, white sand underfoot, and a hammock to learn in as the warm air flow rustles through the coconut hands and almond trees and shrubs. However, when a vintage acquaintance turns up, and James is obliged to talk about “his” seaside, a deep exchange over a container of rum leads to a lust-fuelled encounter in the dark.

Reeling through the intensity from the drunken tryst, James decides to cut his vacation short instead of encounter what he’s held hidden under mountains of denial.

However, his escape is certainly thwarted when Rudie, handsome and plainspoken, calls him out on his behaviour and makes him see that life needn’t be spent working away from his desires.

Set at a rundown aged resort on a small Caribbean island, THE FINAL Nights of The Frangipani Hotel is a tale about letting go of dread and learning that enthusiasm and love can be found in probably the most unexpected of places.
