【剧情简介】：
美国CBS台史诗新剧《CANE》由艾美奖和金球奖双料得主Jimmy Smits ("The West Wing")主演。这部电视剧讲述了一个古巴裔美国大家族（Duque家族）的创业史和内部的权力斗争。这个家族在南佛罗里达商界富有盛名，垄断着大部分的朗姆酒和食糖生意。最近，家族的领袖Pancho (Hector Elizondo, "Chicago Hope")正在考虑与水火不容的竞争对手Samuel家族达成一项有利可图但是又令人不放心的交易－－Samuel家族愿意出资购买Pancho手里大片的甘蔗地。资金紧张的Pancho现在面临两难选择：究竟该卖掉经营了很久的食糖生意，集中财力搞好朗姆酒的销售；还是该取消这项交易，保存家族的遗产，但是一切都从头再来？他性格冲动的亲生儿子Frank (Nestor Carbonell, "Lost")对第一个选择情有独钟，而做事稳健的养子Alex (Smits)却赞成第二种选择，因为他始终不信任Samuel家族，并且坚信食糖生意仍有利可图。
Alex和Frank在做生意上各执己见，生活方式也迥然不同。Frank对追女人不感兴趣，而Alex则深爱着自己美丽的妻子、Pancho的亲生女儿Isabel (Paola Turbay, "Bailando por un Sueo")。Isabel 17岁的时候就嫁给了Alex，为了不给Alex带来麻烦，她选择远离家族生意，全力照顾三个孩子。这些孩子也不愿介入家族的利益纷争，决心走与父亲不同的道路－－但事情说起来容易，做起来难。对Duque一家人来说，究竟是家族利益最重要，还是每个人的秘密和相互之间的矛盾冲突会盖过一切？爱、欲望、对家族财富的垂涎，这些会导致家族的衰败吗？ (中文介绍转自天涯小筑,转载请注明出处)

CANE is an epic drama about the external rivalries and internal power struggles of a large Cuban-American family that owns a rum and sugar empire in South Florida. When the family patriarch, Pancho, is offered a lucrative but questionable deal by his bitter adversaries, the Samuels, to purchase thousands of acres of sugar fields, he"s faced with a tough choice: Should he cash out of the sugar business and focus solely on rum, which would please his impulsive natural son, Frank, or protect the family legacy that he builtfr0mthe ground up by not selling, and side with his adopted son, Alex, who mistrusts the Samuels and still sees value in sugar?
Alex and Frank"s approach to business is as different as their approach to life. While Frank might lose focus chasing women, Alex is deeply in love with his beautiful wife, Isabel, who is also Pancho"s daughter. Married when she was just 17 years old, Isabel balances Alex by choosing not to involve herself in the business, focusing instead on their three children, Jaime, Katie and Artie, who are determined to forge their own paths outside the family.
Jaime has a deep love for his father but also yearns to go his own way. When he"s accepted to a reputable college he must face the decision to please Alex or stick by his beloved girlfriend Rebecca and choose a new life. Katie is their rebellious teenage daughter who looks and acts far older than she is.
Henry, Pancho"s youngest son, prefers to stand in the sidelines while his oldest siblings battle for control of the Duque"s interests. While her sons wrestle with their own personal difficulties and secrets, Pancho"s wife, Amalia, attends to the normal inter-personal conflicts that occur within an extended family and bridges the gap between the three generations by hosting the family"s large music-filled cookouts and lively dinners.
For the Duques, will family allegiance come first or will their secrets and acrimonious conflicts over love, lust and control of the family fortune, be their downfall?
