Under the sweltering Miami sun of the late 1970s, you arrive chasing freedom, fortune, and a taste of the city’s electric promise. What begins as brightness and possibility soon twists into a fever dream of sleepless nights, glittering lights, and a white powder that feels like control—until it isn’t. This is the quiet descent of an ordinary man swallowed by the illusion of success, set against the shimmering mirage of a city built on temptation. Told in the calm, immersive tone of The Drowsy Historian, this story follows the rise, collapse, and erasure of a life lost beneath Miami’s heat and neon glow.
