Taking a much needed break she goes on a disastrous Caribbean cruise, setting off an unexpected chain of events that changes her life forever. Along the way she is stalked by a handsome Texan, charmed by a dashing Moroccan, harassed by a Jamaican, propositioned by a hit man and held at gunpoint while dressed as a pink gorilla - all in the name of making it. YOU'LL BE SWELL is an uproarious and heartwarming trip through the life of a phenomenal talent who withstands the horrific struggles of showbiz while trying to maintain sanity and self-esteem, easier said than done.
