Miami Beach, 1959. As Ike Evans rings in the New Year at his luxurious Miramar Playa Hotel, Havana falls to Castro€s rebels. It€s a turbulent time in Miami, but it€s THE place to be. The Kennedys, the mob and the CIA all hold court here. And Ike, he€s the star of his hotel. But everything comes at a price. To finance his dream, he sold his soul to mob boss Ben €œThe Butcher€ Diamond. Ike€s wife Vera, a former showgirl, and his three kids think he€s an honorable man, but he can€t break his pact with the devil. His life is a fa§ade. In fact, nothing at the Miramar Playa is what it seems. By day, it€s diving clowns and cha-cha lessons. By night, escorts have secret liaisons with husbands in the family cabanas, while Miami€s seedier residents and the law drift together to hear legendary singers, musicians and comics. As Ike€s world threatens to implode, he fights for his family, and the Miramar Playa, in Magic City.
