Former Havana detective Marlene Martinez, now happily running a bakery in Miami, has booked a Caribbean cruise with her niece, Sarita, as the girl's quinceanera present. Sarita is beyond thrilled to discover that a Cuban telenovela star, Carloalberto, is also aboard for the trip. But while trying to keep her niece away from the unsettlingly handsome actor, Marlene gets the feeling Carloalberto is in some kind of trouble - he is constantly on edge, and shady characters seem to find their way to him. When murder occurs on board, Marlene will rely on instincts she hoped never to use again.
