A brash, Hemingway‑inspired adventure set during the early Cuban revolution. This reimagining of the Hemingway short story behind “To Have and Have Not” follows a charter‑boat skipper who becomes tangled in a gun‑running operation to settle his debts. The sea‑bound tale plays like film noir, featuring a dangerous woman, a smug villain and an ostensibly innocent man forced onto the wrong side of the law by circumstance.
