Logline/Synopsis:
A non-stop, pulse-pounding, historical-fiction period piece, Exile is best described as a Cuban Count of Monte Cristo. A classic story of love, betrayal, and revenge set in two time periods - Cuba 1950s/60s and Miami 1970s. Exile is a multi-season historical fiction, one-hour dramatic series that braids fascinating historical facts with adrenaline-pumping fiction that produces compelling, prestige, binge-worthy tv.
A cold-war-style historical fiction thriller set in Cuba and Miami over twenty years, this classic "love, betrayal, revenge" story is set in motion when a Cuban Military Officer is betrayed by his colleagues, framed for murder, and thrown in jail the night before his wedding. All he can think of is revenge. Thirteen years later, he escapes the horrors of Castro's Cuban prison, arriving in Miami, where his former military comrades and their high-society Cuban wives all live successful, high-profile lives. All of that is about to change.
