🎧 THE STORY:

Danny Vance was framed for murder and left to rot in a brutal, privatized Everglades prison. The man who set him up? Easton Cross, a sociopathic offshore crypto-broker who shares Danny's exact face.

After surviving a harrowing, high-tech swamp escape, Danny doesn't run—he heads straight for Easton’s multi-million-dollar Miami mansion. The deal is simple but lethal: Danny becomes Easton's ghost, using his face to dismantle a rival cartel boss, while Easton sits on a rock-solid, public alibi. But in a city overflowing with corrupt tactical cops, ruthless social media influencers, and heavy-hitting cartel muscle, playing the devil is a dangerous game. And the middle always collapses.

Gritty, fast-paced, and utterly ruthless, The South Beach Files is a gripping revenge thriller where the only currency that matters is leverage.
