Lieutenant Mario Conde is suffering from a terrible New Year's Eve
hangover. Though it's the middle of a weekend, he is asked to
urgently investigate the mysterious disappearance of Rafael Morin,
a high-level business manager in the Cuban nomenklatura. Conde
remembered Morin from their student days: good-looking, brilliant,
a "reliable comrade'' who always got what he wanted, including
Tamara, the girl Conde was after. But Rafael Morin's exemplary rise
from a poor barrio and picture-perfect life hides more than one
suspicious episode worthy of investigation. While pursuing the case
in a decaying but adored Havana, Conde confronts his lost love for
Tamara and the dreams and illusions of his generation.
