En las aguas del Caribe, la llegada del grupo de ataque del portaaviones USS Nimitz marca un momento en que la diplomacia y la fuerza militar se entrelazan como instrumentos de una misma voluntad. Washington intensifica su presión sobre La Habana mediante sanciones, declaraciones públicas y presencia naval, mientras Cuba enfrenta una crisis energética y económica que agrava el sufrimiento cotidiano de su pueblo. Es una vieja historia entre naciones vecinas y distantes a la vez: la del poder que busca doblar la voluntad del más débil, y la del más débil que resiste, a cualquier costo.
