‘Caribbean Summer’ is getting added to the lineup of original movies on the Hallmark Channel. It will be part of the Summer Nights movie event, premiering one weekend after Hidden Gems. Get all the details on the cast, plot, and see photos below.
‘Caribbean Summer’ Movie Plot Details
A morning news producer named Jade (Hemmens) gets forced to take a vacation after an on-air blunder during a broadcast. She thinks all her worries are behind her when she arrives in the sunny Caribbean. However, she didn’t count on a rocky start when there’s a snafu involving the house she rented.
In typical Jade fashion, she is able to turn her trip right around. When she meets the mysterious owner of the house named Ford (Blain), the two spark an unexpected romance. Just as Jade starts letting her guard down and enjoying all the island has to offer, her heart and job come into conflict when she discovers the truth about Ford.
How will Jade handle this newfound information? Will she follow her heart and start a new life with Ford or leave it all behind?
