member, had made it safely across the Florida Straits to
America. After being processed in Miami, he flies to New
Jersey to be with his beloved Magda and her family. Frank
gets a job and a room and his new life begins. He also
starts to learn English from a tutor, so he can get a
better job. He and Magda are still very much in love. After
a couple of years, he and Magda marry and have a child. By
this time, Frank owns a couple of sandwich shops and is
doing quite well, living the American dream. When tragedy
strikes, his dreams of life in America with Magna are
shattered.
Meanwhile in Cuba, Lieutenant Pino, who is being held
responsible for Frank's escape, is sentenced to work on a
sugar cane farm. As time progresses, the tables turn for
Pino. He is sent to Russia for more military training, then
reinstated with the Cuban Army. Pino bides his time as he
makes plans to exact revenge on Frank. Will he be able to
pull off his plan using a young Cuban Special Forces
operative on American soil?
