After a failed attempt to escape the oppressive regime in Cuba, a young artist is captured, accused of being in the CIA and sentenced to 15 years in one of Cuba's most horrific prisons. Labeled a Political Prisoner, he is abused and tortured for years and then mysteriously released. Fearful for his life and re-imprisonment he plans a second escape with a group of friends. Armed with heroic passion, they flee the island in the dead of night on a homemade raft...their goal to reach the United States. Instead they find terror at sea and their quest for human rights and freedom becomes a journey for survival. Based on true stories and interviews with Cuban political prisoners and rafters.
