Struggling in life with an alcoholic father and “lost in the past” grandfather, Cuban-American teenager Miranda Trelles searches for escape with two young men who are as opposite as they Lucio the mysterious grafitti artist and Frank the All-American athlete. Miranda soon finds herself on a journey filled with love, fantasy, and violence where answers to her family’s present lie in her grandfather’s Cuban past.
