Amid 1950s Cuba’s simmering unrest, sharp-witted Cuban-American Lily Turner returns to Havana to visit her father, Arnaldo Valdes. When a lost bet leads to his kidnapping, Lily is pulled into a dangerous web of espionage, gang rivalries, and political revolution. With the CIA, the mob, and Fidel Castro’s rebels closing in, nothing is as it seems. Gritty and fast-paced, Havana Split launches a noir-drenched series where every alliance comes at a price. Cuba, 1958. Lily is reunited with her father, the owner of a seedy detective agency in Havana. Well, reunited... Rather, she catches a glimpse of him. Her father, a gambling addict, has been kidnapped along with his secretary by Alfonso, a mafioso and sports betting boss. The deal is simple: her father in exchange for a starlet, a failed film actress, but above all the mistress of Alfonso's great rival. Simple, easy, fácil, especially since Lily can count on the help of John, an ex-CIA agent, and José, a handyman in his spare time and a full time coward. And all this in the middle of the revolución!
