[edit] Plot introduction
Miles Faber is to spend some time on vacation before inheriting the company that belonged to his late father.
While he decides to go to Castita, a fabricated country located in the Caribbean, Lowe the Lawman, a partner of Miles's father who knows the secrets of the Faber family, tries to stop him.
Miles has his way and spends two days in Castita where he learns more about himself and his family's incestuous past.
(The title "M/F", which can stand for Miles Faber as well as motherfucker, is a play on Miles's family's history.)
