At a plush hotel in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Lola Kolber, a striking young woman in her early twenties, shares a stay with her husband, Alan Kolber, a pulp writer about thirty years her senior. The trip is meant to spark a fresh chapter for him, but he spends much of the time drinking, letting the days drift by in a haze of酒 and vapid distraction. Frustrated by his behavior, Lola soon begins an affair with a French fellow guest, a choice that adds tension to an already fragile marriage.
