A&E documents a real-life soap opera in City Confidential: Ft. Lauderdale -- Sin in the Sun. Every Spring Break, the south Florida town becomes engorged with energetic college students looking to let loose. During the rest of the year, Ft. Lauderdale struggles with its dual identity as a party town and family community. The latter is reduced to shambles when police decide to crack down on prostitution for good. In one motel room, the officer in charge of the undercover operation finds a transaction in progress. But when the prostitute turns out to be his wife and the customer a conservative politician bullheaded for reform, all hell breaks loose. A&E details the shocking bust and the even more unpredictable trial in this one-hour presentation.
