## Description

Enrico, the world's most highly paid tenor, lands in Havana in 1920, carrying with him the death threat of the Sicilian Black Hand. But when a bomb explodes during a performance, and he runs terrified into the arms of a Chinese widow, he is not running from his destiny but towards it.
