It's 1962 on the island of O'ahu. Locals gradually learn of a nearby nuclear test set to go down that night. Rather than panic, many seem to want to party. Why? Inspired by true events.

The Shinoda family is a multi-generational, multi-racial household living comfortably on O'ahu. Despite marriage tensions, Mom and Dad decide to take their young son Ikaika on a road-trip around the island - laying out his culture to him. We ride with their route, enjoy their music, soak in Hawaii's rhythms and colors. As they do this, the Shinodas repeatedly miss that they are headed towards serious trouble.
