What do you do when life in sunny Southern California starts to seem plastic, materialistic and just plain hellish?
For Sonia and Duke Marsh, the answer was to sell their worldly goods and move to the Central American island of Belize, a third-world country without all the comforts -- or distractions -- of life in the developed world.
Sonia hopes the move will bring her shattered family back together. Instead, things begin to go wrong immediately. As the days turn into months, Sonia finds herself questioning the family’s decision to move on a nearly daily basis.
