In this devastating alternate history, the Cuban Missile Crisis does not end in diplomacy. It ends in fire. When a misinterpreted message prompts a Soviet commander in Cuba to authorize a nuclear launch, the world is forever changed. A ten-kiloton warhead detonates over Biscayne Bay, decimating Homestead Air Force Base and plunging Florida into chaos. President Kennedy retaliates with Operation Scorpion—limited nuclear strikes on western Cuba—while the world teeters on the brink of total war.

Told through the lens of the Fowler family across three generations, this deeply human episode explores trauma, memory, and the fragile peace that emerges from catastrophe. From the blinding flash of 1962 to the cultural echoes in 2025, “One Bright Flash” is a sobering reminder of how close we came—and what it might have cost us.

This is Delta-8.

This is Not This Time.
