The Duques, a large Cuban-American family, face pressures as they run their South Florida rum and sugar business. Patriarch Pancho is offered a tidy deal by his competitors, who want him to sell thousands of acres. If he sells, Pancho can focus on the family rum business, a prospect his son Frank finds attractive. Alex, Pancho's adopted son, urges Pancho to protect the family legacy, creating another clash between woman-chasing Frank and family guy Alex, who is married to Pancho's daughter, Isabel.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Cane is too self-serious to offset its silly twists and turns, but a notable cast of Latin talent gives this crime saga some heft.

3/5
Cane is full of mystery and passion and provides all of the other guilty pleasures you'd expect from an adult soap opera. But what separates it from other dramas of its kind is its celebration of America's Cuban heritage. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
