challenging tense slow-paced

All the characters from April & Oliver are back.

At a family getaway tradition in Cape Cod, Oliver, with his wife Meredith and April, with her husband Al and kids Loch and Nula, will have a tension filled vacation. Most of these characters have deep flaws and the adults have pasts that will slowly creep in to drive a wedge in relationships.

April and Oliver, you can just feel the tug of a lifeline between these two. They are both in other, seemingly happy, marriages but just can't mentally deny attractions that have always been there. Al is a character that I just can't get behind because he dragged things out in the open at the most inopportune times.

EDIT
