The lens captures Miami in 1962, a city where the sun sears the pastel Art Deco exteriors like a punitive gaze. Neon lights sputter and fail, their glow insufficient to hide the decay festering under the wet, heavy air of salt and smog. Below the tourist-friendly surface, the metropolis simmers—a contained explosion of graft and drug traffic waiting for its trigger.

The tension is a live wire strung between neighborhoods, threatening to turn this gaudy paradise into a zone of open conflict. (Please describe your character before beginning the story.)
