Questions fill Broca's head as he and Green steer the Cagancho back to Miami. But when they are intercepted by a fishing boat carrying artillery, Rick knows enough to shoot now, and ask questions later. So begins an insidious sequence of events that will ultimately force Rick broca back intoo working for the government, and force U.S. government into an ugly confrontation with Cuba.
