Kainoa De Silva, a wayward Hawaiian man, is on parole and committed to reconnecting with his family. Most important to Kainoa is rebuilding his relationship with his adolescent son Jonathan after years of being incarcerated. But acclimating to a normal life in Hawai‘i is harder than it seems and Kainoa tends to do all the wrong things for the right reasons. In trying to prove himself worthy of his family and his native heritage, Kainoa’s journey is a story of both reconciliation and redemption.
