Rico: The Heat of Miami

By T.K. Bethel

In the summer heat of 1970s Miami, every choice carries a cost.
Rico Devereaux isn't trying to be a legend-he's trying to survive. From the juke joints of Liberty City to the neon-lit corners of Little Havana, Rico builds a business meant to buy his freedom. But in a city run by power, greed, and ghosts, every deal pulls him deeper into the fire.

When betrayal burns through his closest circle and the law closes in, Rico must decide whether redemption is still possible-or if Miami's heat will finally consume him. Told in cinematic present tense and rich with music, memory, and danger, RICO: The Heat of Miami captures the soul of a man running from his past while trying to build his future.

Every city burns different. Miami burns with memory.
