While Ike grapples with the disappearance of his friend Mike Strauss, Miami’s DA Jack Klein decides the best way to attack organized crime is through the lobby of the Miramar Playa Hotel…and the best way into the Miramar Playa may be through Ike’s law-student son, Danny. Meanwhile, Stevie Evans’ affair with mob-boss wife Lily Diamond heats up. Daughter Lauren’s bat mitzvah is the only bright spot in Ike’s increasingly complicated world.

As hotelier Ike Evans sits in jail under arrest for murder, wife Vera, son Stevie and the Miramar Playa team scramble to raise bail money and, in the process, discover the secret of Ike’s Miramar “silent” partners. Mobster Ben Diamond fears Ike will crumble under pressure from State’s Attorney Jack Klein and offers aid in unexpected ways. Ike’s fate hangs in the balance as he awaits Judi Silver’s grand jury testimony.

As the Miramar Playa Hotel prepares to host a nationally televised boxing match, Ben Diamond unveils a scheme to make major money on the fight. Ike gets swept into the betting with disastrous results, while Vera faces her own disappointment when Jackie Kennedy fails to show for her luncheon. After interviewing for a job with Jack Klein, Danny inadvertently receives proof of Stevie’s affair with Lily in the form of blackmail photos from Divin’ Dave. Meanwhile Klein, determined to find the missing Judi Silver, dredges the quarry where Mike Strauss’s body was found and discovers something that will change Ike’s life forever.

Ike sets his Cuba plan in motion, risking all to rid his Miramar Playa of Ben Diamond. Ben goes to Chicago to pressure Mob boss Sy Berman into letting him kill Ike. Stevie and Lily go on a “real” date and Stevie jumps in the middle of Bel’s bar fight. Vera is threatened by Meg Bannock’s newfound place at the family Passover, while Ben entertains Tampa gangster Nicky Grillo at his debauched “Seder.”

Stevie’s sex and booze-soaked disc jockey convention takes over the Miramar Playa, bringing unexpected consequences for all the Evans men. Mercedes makes a startling revelation to Vera, while Danny and Judi unexpectedly grow closer. Ike’s plot to fix the Cuban lottery is set in motion, and Ben seeks revenge in all the wrong places. The Evans family will never be the same.
