Imagine an island that offered a couple an erotic fantasy for the benchmark 40th birthday. And if this milestone was the one time to step out on the ledge and take a risk, would they dare participate in a multiple partner sexual encounter? Don Nightengale, budding hotelier, successfully gambled an astounding yes.

At 40, desperate to avoid his own inevitable mid-life crisis, Don escaped to Cuba to open a mysterious cabaret in the catacombs of an ancient slave castle. In his quest to fulfill his dream of building the world’s most spectacular tropical resort, he partnered with men he ordinarily would not have. Instead of maintaining his hotel as a secret gem, he made a decision that some would later claim was a deal with the devil. Don offered his guests what he claimed to be a guarantee by god that there would be no consequences for their actions.

That guarantee, even God could not deliver.
