Into the summer heat of New York's Spanish Harlem strides Carmen, a *chica* who is as hot as the sizzling city streets. When she first meets José, she falls for him hard. He's not like the gansta types she knows - *tipo duros* who are tough, who think they are players. But José has a quick temper, and he likes to get his own way. And nobody gets in Carmen's way.
When Escamillo rolls into town, everyone takes notice of the Latino Jay-Z - a quadruple-threat singer/rapper/producer/businessman. But he only notices one person - Carmen. And Carmen has given up on José - he's not going to get her out of her tough neighborhood, *el barrio*, and into the action. Escamillo will.
But José won't let that happen.
Passion, love, and betrayal explode into tragedy in this modern retelling of an enduring love story.
