In Havana, November 1958, 18-year-old
Katey Miller brings an innate curiosity and a smattering
of Spanish to her new life in Cuba's lush capital, where
her father has taken an executive posting at Ford.
Bookish and awkward, Katey is expected to join the smart
set of American teenagers who are the Millers' neighbors
at the exclusive Oceana Hotel.
But Katey finds herself drawn instead to the proud,
purposeful Javier, a waiter who also happens to be
brilliant dancer. Determined to learn the slinky,
spectacular moves that Javier seems to know in his
bones, Katey persuades him to partner with her in a
prestigious national dance competition at Havana's
glittering nightclub/casino, The Palace. Soon, the
straight-A student is deceiving her parents, stealing
away both day and night to discover a different part of
Cuba with Javier. They meet at the steamy nightclub La
Rosa Negra, where only the locals go and where the
dancing is hotter than the temperature outside. Some
days, they practice on the sand of an out-of-the way
beach, aligning their bodies in a sensual harmony that
mirrors the growing passion between them. As the night
of the contest finally arrives, Katey and Javier are
ready to take their place as a couple on the dance floor
- unaware that the country club, and the streets of
Havana itself, are about to erupt in revolutionary
violence!!
