A colorful cast of Miami residents and visitors navigates their daily lives, both legal and illegal. Officer Nestor Camacho patrols Biscayne Bay as the police confront the city's unique cultural landscape, where diverse communities have taken charge at the ballot box. This melting pot is filled with hard cases who refuse to blend in. Among them are the Cuban mayor, the black police chief, a young journalist with a muckraking ambition, and his Yale-educated editor from the Miami Herald. There's also an Anglo sex-addiction psychiatrist and his beautiful Latina nurse, Magdalena, alongside his star patient, a porn-addicted billionaire. A status-obsessed Haitian professor, who wishes his daughter Ghislaine could "pass" for white, complicates matters further; she is the love of Nestor's life, while her younger brother embodies a different reality. The narrative includes crack dealers in the neighborhoods, clueless art collectors spending millions at the Miami Art Basel Fair, and the chaotic interactions between black drug dealers and Cuban cops. Spectators at the Columbus Day Biscayne Bay Regatta seek only the night’s orgy, while ex-New Yorkers at an "Active Adult" condo and a group of shady Russians add to the vibrant tapestry of this dynamic city.
