Shy but resilient Helen Berner is nine months pregnant and in an abusive marriage. She also is a waitress at Ruby's Cafe, a restaurant near the end of the Florida East Coast Railway line. As both the storm and the baby approach, she has a choice to make about her nine-year marriage.
Newlywed Mirta Cordero is visiting from Havana on her honeymoon. An arranged match, her wealthy husband is a casino owner in Havana, but what kind of business does he operate in New York City? Will these two strangers find a way to love each other and stay alive?

The narrative jumps between Helen, Mirta, and Elizabeth, but each character resonates from chapter to chapter, and heightening the tension. And Cleeton keeps the surprises coming: Each woman is distinct in voice, manner, and goals, and the pace of the story never slows.
