This action-packed thriller takes off as readers are introduced to Carmine Spada and Bernie Swartz who have horded their profits from their Cuban casino and call girl operations and are preparing to leave behind a hidden cache of US dollars and gold coins to their surviving family members. It all ended for the two men on January 1, 1959 when Fidel Castro and his brother Raul took over the country and closed all the casinos. That same day, Carmine and Bernie left from the Isle of Pines, taking a lot of money with them but leaving behind their fortune in a sealed concrete vault. Fifty-seven years later, both men have each left behind one heir who's task it is to find the money and bring it home. As word spreads of the search, Carmine's and Bernie's family members are placed in grave danger as the island becomes a war zone and the game of cat and mouse begins.
