Summary: Suspenseful, sweepingly romantic, and epicly exciting – the time: World War II; the place: unoccupied Morroco seething with European refugees depserate for passage out of Europe. Casablanca is the story of Rick, a world-weary, broken hearted cynical nightclub owner at the heart of the city. Ilsa, fleeing the Nazis with her Resistance-hero husband crosses paths with Rick, but not for the first time. As intrigue, seduction, and betrayal threaten to destroy everything that Rick has worked for and Ilsa’s husband has fought for, only Rick holds the key to freedom. Faced with the choice to follow his heart or his idealism, this story has it all!
