A similarly named cruise ship, hotel, and bed & breakfast play host to a series of mix-ups and catastrophic events in Bermuda, involving a high school science field trip (in search of a rare medicinal plant), a marching band (performing in a competition that may not exist), a religious retreat (that’s actually a doomsday cult), and a category 5 hurricane (which formed in the Bermuda Triangle)! At the center of it all is Shea, the young owner of a struggling inn, who must keep all the unfolding mayhem out of view from her VIP guest: a visiting B&B influencer, whose “Platinum Pillow” rating is crucial for Shea to stay in business.
