Oyster Shell Road

Three childhood friends find themselves reunited in the most unlikely of places; the jungles of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. One, a smuggler by trade, another, a Wall Street hustler on the run from the S.E.C. and the third hiding at the ends of the earth from her psychotic ex-husband.

OYSTER SHELL ROAD There weren't many people who knew Skyler Martin, but those who did thought of him as a happy go lucky lush of a sail bum who was a nice enough fellow that kept mainly to himself. However, the ones closest to him knew a much different person. Close to bringing his five-year plan of smuggling marijuana from Mexico to Texas to an end, Skyler still had two more trips to go before he reached his goal. They would prove to be the most incredible trips of his life. It was on the first that he came face to face with his fifth grade girlfriend from 1963, Sheila Heinberger, hiding deep in the jungles of the Yucatan. Even after thirty years he instantly recognized her face and the ember began to grow. The next was the unexpected appearance of Skyler's lifelong friend Darrell Fox who had found himself on the wrong side of the law and in need of a quick departure from the country. Retirement in Mexico had been Skyler's dream and now it is Darrell's destiny as they sail to the Yucatan to rendezvous with Sheila and live out their years in paradise. Both men, young and wealthy, are well on their way to living the dream...until the specter of Sheila's dark past comes back to haunt them all. Now the schoolyard friends must band together to defend Sheila and the vision of their futures on the pristine jungle beach of 'Playa Linda'.

A fifth generation South Texan, Mark has spent most of his life in the Coastal Bend and the rest either in Mexico or at sea. He settled in the small beach community of Port Aransas where he has lived for 35 years and is still active in the local music scene performing with his tropicoustical band 'Triggerfish'. Mark and his wife Samantha (also a native of the Texas coast) plan on staying in their beloved little tourist town for life.
