DESCRIPTION:
(from ABC's press release, March 2016) Born and raised in Havana, Eva Sofia Valdez (Gina Torres) immigrated to Miami and won herself the American dream through decades of hard work. With a small conglomerate of local businesses and a tight-knit, loving family she seemingly has it all. But a chance encounter with the former love of her life (and three mysterious shadow women) is about to change all of that... At a fundraising party for her charity, Eva Sofia is confronted by Miami Mayoral candidate, Blair Monrose (a member of Miami's most powerful family). Although Eva Sofia immediately recognizes Blair as the man who seduced her and abandoned her in Havana twenty-seven years ago, Blair seems oblivious. Outraged and wounded by Blair's callous dismissal, Eva Sofia begins an epic quest for revenge. In an attempt to bring Blair and the Monrose family to its knees, Eva Sofia decides that her youngest son, Nicolas (a charming young attorney with a love of ladies and the occasional bump of cocaine) should run against Blair in the mayoral election. This causes her eldest son, Sebastian (the quiet, stable manager of the family's finances) to question Eva's ability to run the family empire and inflames the brother's sibling rivalry. When Eva's plans to secretly buy her way on to the board of Morose Rum are frustrated, she enlists the help of three supernatural shadow women, with deadly consequences... |
