Murder at Midnight on a Sailboat

Contains adult language and situations.

Who would have thought someone like Norman could ever attract the attention of someone as desirable as Kathy? Not only was she way out of his league, she wasn't even playing the same game. But that little fact doesn't stop Norman. He lets out all the stops on his stumbling way to make a good impression on the most dazzling cheerleader on the Rutgers campus, and in spite of his 'best attempts' at courtship they fall hopelessly in love.

After graduation, they quickly plan their wedding and are all set to begin their new life as husband and wife with a modest honeymoon; all that stands in their way is getting through the many details of their busy ceremony. Expecting to settle for a weekend in nearby Atlantic City, Norman's frugal father instead surprises them at the rehearsal dinner with news of a week-long trip to a brand new Caribbean resort. Kathy is stunned. Norman is skeptical. What has his father done now? With no time left to research the sudden change of plans, 'Chunk' and 'Honey' are whisked away to the isolated island of Bajo Nuevo Bank, off the turquoise coast of Columbia.

At first, everything looks perfect to the young newlywed couple ... until Norman discovers that things on the tiny atoll are just a little bit odd. The Islanders are anything but a well-oiled machine, and it soon becomes obvious that the resort staff did not have time to iron out all their kinks before the rushed grand opening. Annoying turns to disturbing, and before they know it, Chunk and Honey are mixed up in more than they had bargained for.

Trying to salvage something out of an escalating disaster, they sign up for a last-minute murder-mystery cruise on a small Italian sailing yacht. They thought things were bad at the resort, but they have no idea what is in store for them once they make it far out to sea.

Peek in on Norman and Kathy's dream honeymoon as they join a peculiar cast of characters, including a bizarre and withered French husband and wife, a gay couple from Utah, and a cantankerous sea captain and his young huckster apprentice on a hilarious, unforgettable excursion of a lifetime.
