Shiftless in Galveston

It was supposed to be a nice cruise in the Gulf: 4 ports in 3 countries, all relaxation and fun, but not everyone saw it the same way.

Kevin Willis had it in mind to trade in his wife for something younger and more compliant. 

Tiana and Brandon Washmore had a chance to renew their fraying marriage, but it was Brandon who got stitched up.

British bobby Andrew and his new bride Sarah, wanted only that southern sun.

Housemates Crystina Brandon and Denée Turner wanted to explore warm and inviting places; neither expected to find them in each other.

Andrés Flores and his his wife Lareina wanted only a quiet vacation away from running their convenience store.

Zach Jackson enjoyed the privileges he got on Carousel Carribean Cruise Liners and getting away from business concerns while showing off his Russian trophy bride, Yelena.

He never imagined she had plans of her own.

Kyrone and LaShawn Brown were there for a fun time with the kids, and paid no attention to odd looks they sometimes got when people saw a black couple with a white child.

Elderly couple, Mochizuki and Hiromichi Shinohara survived internment as children in the USA after Pearl Harbor; now they saw that same abuse of immigrant children. Could they really get-away from that?

No one expected a dead body to show up, but security officer Gina Nirapatta was expected to find out who dunnit before the FBI came aboard and took over everything.

She would fail.

The gulf between murder and motive was greater than the water this huge ship displaced.
