SAINT X

Fresh voice talent Dana Dae leads a cast of 15 actors who deliver a cinematic atmosphere in this intricate story of a family that is vacationing at an exclusive Caribbean resort. While visiting, their 18-year-old daughter disappears and is found washed up on the beach two days later. The circumstances of her death are never solved. Seventeen years later the girl's younger sister, portrayed by Dae, tries to make sense of her sister's tragic death, and this is where the ensemble approach of the novel pays great dividends. The separate and distinct voices of college friends, the sisters' mother, diary entries, and a handful of Jamaican-accented former resort employees deftly magnify the complex issues of race, class, and gender that come together in the heartrending conclusion.
