Creative Notes:
The original version was written before cell phones, although car phones were very new. I re-wrote the script in early 2010 to include modern devices, but the story remains unchanged.

Synopsis:
Pauline, Shirley and Muriel have been friends since they can remember and are now at age when just remembering anything is no small triumph. Through thick and thin, through life's ups and downs and for better and worse, their friendship has survived. They thought that they knew everything about each other. They thought that they knew all about themselves. They thought that finally, during this time of their lives, they could take a deep breath and relax in the Florida sunshine.
They were wrong.
After hearing of the murder of a dear friend who had worked her way up the political ladder to become a vice-presidential candidate, the three friends receive a mysterious package that catapults them into a world of international intrigue when they are kidnapped and taken to a small island off the Florida coast. They thought they would never see their families again. They thought they would never get off the island. They thought they would never survive.
They were wrong
Pauline, Shirley and Muriel discover strengths they never knew they had, secrets they never shared, and the power of friendship to turn three Ordinary Women into Extraordinary Heroes.
It is a story for anyone who finds courage where they thought was none, the ability to laugh during the darkest hours, the importance of relationships over material objects and the capacity to change in the face of unwelcome changes. At any age.
