Description
Rain-swept streets, an oblivious Miami Beach night club where the party never ends, and a vicious car bombing signal the beginning of the end for a lifestyle that was anything but innocent, for an era that was beyond decadentA[a¬A] Set in tropical Miami, Florida in the last months of the year 1983, Eduardo Echevarria is a carefree drug smuggler and low-level racketeer who finds himself suddenly caught in a tailspin when a double murder invades his quiet life. He finds himself thrown face to face with Silvio Rasankas, a criminal mastermind with the burning ambition to transform and take control of Miami. On a collision course, both men scramble to find the man responsible for the latest attack in their world and bring peace to a way of life that was about to come crashing down. A gripping modern tragedy, where sin was the order of the day and the heady humid nights stretched into oblivion. Where among corrupt cops, treacherous smugglers and dangerous femme fatales one man will find redemption in love and freedom in the ever-elusive dream of leaving behind a criminal life. The decadent eighties come alive in this gripping story of crime, retribution, and redemption, where a generation paid the price for a lifestyle of dizzying excess and their all but innocent savage dreams.
