SYNOPSIS

Sparadise brings to mind the typical drama that plays out in a lot of spa centres; with stories thoughtfully woven around the spa attendants (primary characters), their peculiar problems and how they individually try to find solutions that best address their issues while living up to the task of being a staff to an unseen boss. Sparadise features four female characters with personalized relationship issues and two male characters who share the same space with the ladies and deal with their regular drama often with random clients.
