90 Miles 2.0

Based on actual events spanning forty years, this story is about the relentless struggle of a family's search for freedom, the Great Seven Fidel Castro's inner circle, and an epic adventure driven by a passionate love relationship set in pre- and post- Revolutionary Cuba.

The love story is the main impetus of this chronicle. Pepe, the only survivor of the inner circle to escape several assassination attempts, is forced to leave his family and his fiancée (Alicia) in Cuba. Alicia, who is carrying his unborn child, conceals her pregnancy to ensure Pepe's immediate departure to safety. After a harrowing escape to Key West, Pepe receives the news of his fiancée's pregnancy and begins a long and dangerous journey to save Alicia and his unborn child. He seizes the opportunity to return to Cuba as a CIA operative in an ultra-covert operation named 90 Miles. This operation was launched just prior to the Bay of Pigs invasion of April 17th, 1961. The objective of 90 Miles was to determine Castro's military capabilities, namely nuclear capability.

The so-called Great Seven Inner Circle was a group of men who helped start up and finance the Cuban Revolutionary party. These men organized and provided the financial resources for Castro's revolution and were instrumental in overthrowing Batista, the reigning dictator of the island of Cuba. Within eighteen months of Castro's rise to power, six of the Great Seven men had been methodically murdered by unknown assassins.   

This story also uncovers the truth about the Missile Crisis. The US government (primarily the Kennedy Administration) ignored reports of Castro's military buildup. Furthermore, senior government officials were aware and had evidence of the existence of nuclear weapons in Cuba long before the infamous Missiles of October in 1962. The fly over of a U-2 plane by the US Air Force only confirmed the existence of missile bases previously detected by the CIA in Operation 90 Miles.

There are many facets to this story. A tragic love story with the backdrop of the Cuban Revolution, an amazing adventure of a family's search for freedom, and a part of US history never before revealed anywhere.
