A inicios del nuevo milenio, Mariel, una joven cubana frustrada por el inmovilismo ideológico de su país, emigra a Montreal después de haber conocido a un canadiense que la ayuda a hacer realidad su desmesurado afán de salir de su isla carcelaria. Sin embargo, la protagonista no escapa del consabido choque cultural y de las vicisitudes propias del emigrante que se aventura a lo desconocido, en aras de un futuro mejor. Su estancia en Canadá, antítesis de su tropical país, se traduce en un cúmulo de hilarantes, absurdas y estremecedoras vivencias que entorpecen su plan y la hacen reflexionar sobre su permanencia definitiva en aquel rincón del mundo. El erotismo, la incertidumbre, la decepción y el miedo coexisten en esta obra donde el lector descubrirá si, a pesar de los altibajos del destino, Mariel encuentra, finalmente, su lugar.
