Pretty great story. A couple of mafiosi from Sicily are trying to sail their sailboat loaded with cocaine from South America to Europe. They run into bad weather near the Azores and their boat is damaged. They eventually anchor near one of the islands. Not quite sure what they were thinking here, but they offload the drugs and stash them in a cave on the shore. Don't want the police to inspect the boat and find a bunch of cocaine on board, I suppose. The bad weather is not quite done and soon packages of cocaine are washing up on the beach, and boy howdy, do things change in town.
The story follows four friends as they attempt to capitalize on this windfall. The four are one smart guy, our hero Eduardo, Rafael, a local soccer star, his girlfriend, Sylvia, and Carlinhos, a flaming queen. As you might expect, the local police, the mainland police, the local thug and the mafia are all interested in recovering the drugs. Chaos ensues.
The Azores are a long way from anywhere and the dozen or so islands stretch over 400 miles of ocean.

Eduardo and Rafael manage to get a hold of several hundred pounds of this coke and stash it in a hole on the Vila Franca Islet:
