It’s any day in Miami at a Cuban lunch counter. Pancho, the cook, waxes poetic about his world views as he slings cuban sandwiches across the counter to entertained customers. Elsa, always looks on like a disappointed Madonna as she pours tiny cups of liquid gold to whoever takes it and an eager Darwin works hard to prove his worth as a busboy. After lunch rush, Brett, comes in friendly and hoping to win them over. But his goal is put them to the ultimate test in today’s United States.
