Paradise

PARADISE “convincingly, and sometimes chillingly, portrays a young man in the midst of a spiritual crisis” (New York Times). After the death of his sister, Robbie spirals downward into guilt and grief, seeking help from his friends Betty and Stu, a new lover Carlos, and even from a dissolute priest. Amid the chatter of clever New Yorkers, three couples spin towards tragedy and, perhaps, redemption.
