Synopsis
Cristóbal de Casa Triana, the dashing son of a banished Spanish general, risks everything when he drives his powerful motor car to Biarritz under an assumed English name. Longing for his forbidden homeland, he travels alongside his loyal American friend Dick Waring, seeking thrills along the Spanish frontier. Fate intervenes when the young King of Spain’s automobile runs out of petrol on a sunlit road. Stopping to render assistance, Cristóbal locks eyes with an exquisite, violet-eyed passenger and falls headlong into an all-consuming love at first sight. Believing she belongs to the royal entourage, Cristóbal casts caution aside and resolves to follow her across the border into Spain, defying the secret police and the shadow of his family's exiled past. Swept along winding highways, historic plazas, and royal circles, he embarks on an exhilarating pursuit of romance, honor, and destiny.
