## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Two Miami narcotics detectives hunt ecstasy shipments only to stumble into a larger war featuring a Cuban warlord, Russian mobsters, and an irritated Haitian contingent. One of them is also sleeping with his partner’s sister, a development that neither handgun nor sunglasses can deflect. The result is all testosterone and little subtlety.
