Orfeo Vázquez, a well-planted mulato, plays a large conga drum in a salsa band, but dreams of devoting himself to classical music. He is in love with Eury, a full-figured woman and a devotee of Charlotte Brontë. Things become complicated when Eury’s sister, a sensually aggressive redhead, insists on taking the musician to bed. These three sides of the triangle plan on leaving Cuba in a clandestine boat, facing the fury of an approaching hurricane. But Amphitrite has other plans for them.
