Keith Shipley lives in England. It's wet and dreary, and his parents are a couple of misery guts. So Keith embarks on a mission to cheer them up. He tries everything - painting their fish-and-chip shop Tropical Mango, waking them up to their favourite old song on full volume, buying his dad the most beautiful fish in South London - but nothing works. Finally Keith decides the only thing that will make them happy is a move halfway around the world to Paradise. Trouble is, it takes a disaster to get them there. A disaster that could turn even the once cheerful Keith into a misery guts.
