British mercenary Robert Dapes is hired by the corrupt Cuban government to help quash Castro's growing rebellion. Arriving in Havana, he navigates the volatile city, rife with political unrest and disillusionment among both the populace and military. As he goes about his assignment, he encounters Alexandra Lopez de Pulido, an old flame now married to a wealthy landowner, Juan Pulido. Her conflicted feelings about her country’s future and her marriage add an emotional layer to Dapes' professional mission. The tension escalates as Dapes is drawn into the complex web of Havana's political and social upheaval.

Amidst the chaos, Dapes struggles with his own shifting morals and the question of whether he is supporting the right side in a conflict that gains in intensity by the day. While performing his duties, he reconnects with Alexandra, reigniting unresolved emotions and entangling personal stakes with his increasingly dangerous job. The narrative captures a vivid picture of a nation on the brink of revolution, and as events spiral out of control, Dapes finds himself caught between loyalty to his employers, his own ethical dilemmas, and his feelings for Alexandra.
