CANE stars Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Jimmy Smits ("The West
Wing") in an epic drama about the external rivalries and internal power
struggles of a large Cuban-American family running an immensely
successful rum and sugar business in South Florida. When the family
patriarch, Pancho (Hector Elizondo, "Chicago Hope"), is offered a
lucrative but questionable deal by his bitter adversary, the Samuels,
to purchase thousands of acres of sugar fields, he's faced with a tough
choice: Should he cash out of the sugar business and focus solely on
rum, which would please his impulsive natural son, Frank (Nestor
Carbonell, "Lost"), or protect the family legacy that he built from the
ground up by not selling, and side with his adopted son, Alex (Smits),
who mistrusts the Samuels and still sees value in sugar. Alex and
Frank's approach to business is as different as their approach to
life. While Frank might lose focus chasing women, Alex is deeply in
love with his beautiful wife, Isabel (Paola Turbay, "Bailando por un
Sueño"), who is also Pancho's daughter. Married when she was just 17
years old, Isabel balances Alex by choosing not to involve herself in
the business, focusing instead on their three children, who are
determined to forge their own paths outside the family. For the
Duques, will family allegiance come first or will their secrets and
acrimonious conflicts over love, lust and control of the family fortune
be their downfall? Eddie Matos ("General Hospital"), Rita Moreno
("West Side Story"), Michael Trevino ("The Riches"), Lina Esco ("CSI:
NY"), Sam Carman ("Bones"), Alona Tal ("Veronica Mars") and Polly
Walker ("Rome") also star. Cynthia Cidre ("The Mambo Kings"), Jonathan
Prince ("American Dreams"), Jimmy Iovine ("8 Mile") and Polly Anthony
("Lifehouse: Live in Portland!") are the executive producers for ABC
Studios in association with CBS Paramount Network Television.
