Amy, the protagonist, a CubanAmerican, is the glue that keeps the best friends together. She tells her buddies to stay strong and stay sane as they go through their various challenges, even though Amy’s own life, unbeknownst to her friends, is a total mess. Cancer didn’t help when it took her husband last winter. Why isn’t she in her house instead of parked in an empty lot to meet another online hookup? Appointments with her therapist aren’t doing much either, and she wonders how her life got so weird.

Always a few extra pounds overweight, Marta, a buxom, German-born woman, has gained over 15 pounds eating junk food and drinking wine while she isolates inside her North Miami Beach condo. She has abandoned her perpetual dieting as she frets over her husband’s recent struggle with Covid.

Carrie met her husband, Amir, a Middle Eastern businessman from Dubai, in college where they both majored in international studies. Carrie suspects her husband of having an affair with his attractive business associate Talia Steinberg, but it’s way worse than that. Actually, Amir is a spy for Israel and the very reason why the CIA is tracking his every move.

Unhappily married to Richard, a physician, Vickie craves a better relationship. Richard is in a gay relationship with his office manager, Vince. Out of nowhere she finds Tony, a 24-year-old delivery guy from an online grocery store and seduces him and her life becomes much more complicated. Nobody could have suspected that Vickie would fall in love with her new heart throb.

Dr. Sylvie McTavin is Amy’s therapist. She always had a talent for getting around the “system” but recently has run a foul of the IRS when she didn’t pay several years of back taxes. She is being used by the CIA to spy on Amy in exchange for a pardon of her past criminal activity

Peter Pan, a CIA operative, has worked for the US intelligence community for over 20 years. He’s probably responsible directly or indirectly for the planning and execution of over several hundred suspected terrorists and foreign spies. He’s been married to the same woman for 30 years but has been cheating on her as part of his job. He’s charming and handsome and women find him irresistible. He’s coordinating his efforts with Amy’s therapist and the CIA.

Born and bred in Dubai, Amir is a Middle Eastern businessman who obtained American citizenship when he married Carrie. He works for Hassan Communications in New Jersey. He was recruited by the Israeli government when he was an international college student in the US. His wife thinks he’s having an affair while he’s in Malta, but it’s much worse than that. He’s actually a spy for Israel uncovering an illegal arms deal with Iran.

Talia Steinberg has dual citizenship with Israel and the United States. She is married to an Israeli captain in the army. She speaks fluent English, Hebrew and Arabic. Her job at Hassan Electronics is to head up sales in the Middle East. She was recruited by Mossad when she was in the Israeli army. She is having an affair with Amir and has been after him for several years.

Tony is a beach boy who grew up in Miami. Little did he know that one of his delivery customers (Vickie) was going to seduce him in her condo. He likes Vickie and the way her body moves in bed but is embarrassed by the huge age difference and her intense, sexual appetite.

He’s Amy’s go-to pet unicorn and confidante. He used to hang out in Wonderland with Alice, the Mad Hatter and the March Hare. The Queen of Hearts banished him forever due to his bawdy behavior, among other things. Somehow he found his way to Miami and wound up in the front window of a Hallmark Card store. Jesse, Amy’s late husband, fell in love with him and brought him home to Amy as a birthday present. Jesse had a loaded pistol sewn into Oliver’s belly for safekeeping. Oliver likes chocolate, vodka and singing aloud.
