Northern England. Josie O’Connor is through being the midwife and never the mother.

And any chance of Christmas cheer seems all but lost when she’s rescued from a blizzard by a grumpy doctor.

Obstetrician Charles Atkins never dreamed he’d lose his family to a monied businessman.

Would you work with the devil to build a paradise on Earth?

Jewish gangster, Alex Cohen joins long-time friend and business partner, Meyer Lansky to recreate Las Vegas in 1950s Havana. When dictator President Batista gives them the opportunity to build their dream casino complexes, Alex must choose between dancing with this devil or being in debt to the Italian mob.

If he refuses their investment then he will be beholden to the tinpot generalissimo and his bloated ego.
