Two prominent and influential families in Hawaii interact and compete in politics, business, and love with tantalizing drama, twists, and turns. A gubernatorial campaign, a reckless affair, an extortion attempt, an unwanted business deal, a restaurant shooting, a Waikiki fashion festival, and an unexpected death weave a tapestry of suspense, intrigue, and mystery. The novel becomes a whodunnit as fingers point at several possible suspects. Flashbacks to the 1800s describe the early days of the Wong and Henderson families in the Kingdom of Hawaii prior to the overthrow and annexation of the islands.

Relationships, reactions, and consequences expose secrets and personal agendas. Ambition, greed, lust, hypocrisy, power, corruption, hope, and dreams are uncovered and revealed in the land of Aloha.
