Magic City revolves around the world of Miami’s Miramar Playa Hotel in 1959.  As Havana falls to Castro’s rebels the luxurious Miramar Playa Hotel owned by Ike Evans rings in another year. The Kennedys, the mob and the CIA all hold court here.  It’s the place everyone want to be —  but it comes with a price

Nothing at the Miramar Playa is what it seems. By day, it’s diving clowns and cha-cha lessons.  By night, escorts have secret liaisons with husbands in the family cabanas, while Miami’s seedier residents and the law drift together to hear legendary singers, musicians and comics.

Ike’s world threatens to implode, as he fights for his family and the Miramar Playa, in Magic City.
