But the "package," it turns out, is a young Cuban woman being held against her will. She seems to hold the key to a long-simmering feud between the Italian, Jewish, and Cuban mobs and they will stop at nothing to control or kill her. On top of all that, the Miami PD is hot on their trail -- with J. Edgar Hoover and his Feds not far behind. Jimmy just wants to help the woman survive this ordeal -- only men around her have a bad habit of winding up dead.
