Synopsis of ‘Retreat to Paradise’

In “Retreat to Paradise,” Ellie Vaughn (Melanie Stone) tends to cantankerous and injured international tennis star Jordan Greer (Casey Elliott) as he heals from a potentially career-ending shoulder injury.

Jordan’s fear of being in even more pain and his lack of motivation has Ellie desiring to leave him in his misery, although longtime coach Neal (Brian Krause) is not ready to throw in the towel on the idea that Jordan will recover and return to the courts.

Little by little, Jordan comes to realize Ellie is exactly who he needs in his life at this moment, and he hopes that she will feel the same way.

“Retreat to Paradise” is executive produced by Brian Brough, Steven A. Lee, and Brittany Wiscombe. The film is directed by Brian Brough from an original screenplay by Brittany Wiscombe.
