Havana: November, 1958. Eighteen-year-old Katey Miller brings an innate curiosity--and a smattering 
of Spanish--to her new life in Cuba's lush capital, where her father has taken an executive posting 
at Chrysler. Schooled by her parents in the art of ballroom dancing, Katey is expected to join the 
smart set of American teenagers who are the Miller's neighbors at the exclusive Oceana Hotel. But 
Katey finds herself drawn instead to the proud, purposeful Javier--a waiter who also happens to be 
brilliant dancer. Determined to learn the slinky, spectacular moves that Javier seems to know in his 
bones, Katey persuades him to partner with her in a prestigious national dance competition at a grand 
local nightclub, The Palace. Meeting secretly in an out-of-the-way Havana nightclub, Katey and Javier 
practice their steps--their bodies aligning in a sensual harmony that mirrors the growing passion 
between them. As the night of the contest finally arrives, Katey and Javier are ready to take their 
place as a couple on the dance floor--unaware that the country club, and the streets of Havana itself, 
are about to erupt in revolutionary violence.
