Paradiso amaro (2011)
Le Hawaii non sono esattamente il paradiso in terra che tutti crediamo: almeno non lo sono più per uno dei suoi abitanti, Matt King. Sua moglie Elizabeth ha appena avuto un incidente che l'ha gettata in coma, e non si riprenderà più. Non resta che staccare le macchine che la tengono ancora in vita. Da anni troppo concentrato sul suo lavoro, l'uomo si ritrova con due figlie che ormai non conosce più, la più grande delle quali, Alexandra, è sulla via della ribellione più spinta. Il dolore di Matt per la tragedia subita si trasforma in frustrazione quando scopre che sua moglie aveva una relazione extraconiugale, e stava per chiedere il divorzio. Il marito tradito e disperato si lancia allora alla ricerca dell'amante della sua sfortunata consorte…
