Part 2/10:
Upon arriving at a lavish resort, it becomes evident that Leola is a stark juxtaposition of opulence and despair. The resort’s high walls enclose its guests from the impoverished locals, creating a bubble of privilege. This isolation is abruptly interrupted when a local man breaches the barrier, igniting chaos that introduces James to a mysterious woman named Gabby. Gabby’s admiration for James’s failed literary work emboldens him, but it also serves as a disturbing reminder of his inadequacies.
