"Meet Me in Miami" is a romantic comedy about true love and its ability to last, even through years of separation. It stars Carlos Ponce as Luis, a young and handsome heir to a hotel fortune who is about to inherit the family business but decides to risk everything to pursue his first love, Julia (Tara Leniston).

Luis and Eduardo find themselves on a wild and often comedic journey of the heart and an adventure that takes them across the world looking for Julia.
