Cuba, 1952
The tropical island is a mix of lust, greed, and mayhem as wealthy Americans flock to the exotic locale just 90 miles from Florida for R&R. For politicians, actors, writers, and singers it is the place to party.
Behind the scenes the National Crime Syndicate is as much in control of the island as the corrupt government as mobsters use beautiful beaches and luxurious casinos to line their pocketbooks while staying away from the prying eyes of American law enforcement.
Into this sultry and seductive environment steps Aziz A’zami, a young Egyptian on a special mission. He is a former WWII spy and has used his contacts from the war to infiltrate the island so tantalizing close to America. He is patient and has a plan that requires assistance, unwitting or witting it does not matter.
