Smuggler's Return is a sexy comic crime story, where Miami Vice meets Jimmy Buffett to tell a story of pot smugglers after The Business has gone away. Money, murder, sex, and romance are mingled in this tongue-in-cheek look at Miami 2000+ as the culture turns to glamor and glitz in a tropical paradise.
