A moody, cinematic night scene of a weathered tiki bar on a Florida Keys beach. In the foreground, a shattered glass with spilled rum and ice catches the neon bar lights, creating prismatic reflections. The bar's vintage propeller plane fuselage is silhouetted against a dark purple sky with storm clouds gathering. String lights sway in the wind, casting dancing shadows. In the background, barely visible through the bar's open-air windows, two figures face each other in obvious conflict - one turning to leave. The ocean beyond is rough and ominous, with white caps visible in the moonlight. A single white canvas sneaker lies abandoned on the sandy path leading to the beach. The overall color palette is deep blues, purples, and amber bar lights, creating a noir-tropical atmosphere. The title "LAST CALL AT WILLIE'S" appears in weathered, vintage lettering at the bottom, as if carved into driftwood.

Style: Photorealistic with dramatic lighting, film noir meets tropical paradise, mysterious and foreboding atmosphere.
