1957: Iris Bailey is bored to death of working in the typing pool and living with her parents in Hemel Hempstead. A gifted portraitist with a talent for sketching guests at parties, she dreams of becoming an artist. So she can't believe her luck when wealthy socialite Nell Hardman spots her talent and invites her to travel to Havana to draw at her Hollywood director father's glittering wedding. Iris is thrilled to escape to a faraway city by the sea. But soon she realises that the cocktails, tropical scents and azure skies mask a darker reality. As Cuba teeters on the edge of revolution and her heart melts for troubled photographer Joe, Iris discovers someone in the charismatic Hardman family is hiding a terrible secret. Can she uncover the ugly truth behind the glamour and the dazzle before all their lives are torn apart?
