Welcome to Colony Cove! A luxury resort in a remote tropical location! We open our show to welcome the wealthy Dupont family to our hotel. But are they just there for a holiday? Or is there a more sinister reason for their trip? Follow the twists and turns of this crazy adventure as we unveil the dark secret behind this hotel and learn of the shameful history of how this hotel came to be controlled by the current management. We follow Gwen, the socially conscious daughter of Albert and Hillary Dupont, who is determined to build a better future. And as we uncover the real story of who really makes this hotel tick, we might just learn a little more about our own history and open our hearts to a path forward of equality and harmony.
