In this Caribbean musical adaptation, Don Juan hails from Jamaica and arrives in Miami on the run; having fled his marriage to the formidable Donna Elvira. Driven by desire and ego, he pursues new conquests while attempting to close a high-stakes real estate deal at Atchana’s on behalf of his powerful father, the owner of the illustrious Caribea resort group. Alongside him is his loyal best friend Sergio, who tags along not for romance, but survival, hoping the success of the deal will secure his scholarship to Yale.
