Fortunes have changed for the King family, descendants of
Hawaiian royalty and one of the state’s largest landowners.
Matthew King’s daughters—Scottie, a feisty ten-year-old, and
Alex, a seventeen-year-old recovering drug addict—are out of
control, and their charismatic, thrill-seeking mother,
Joanie, lies in a coma after a boat-racing accident. She
will soon be taken off life support. As Matt gathers his
wife’s friends and family to say their final goodbyes, a
difficult situation is made worse by the sudden discovery
that there’s one person who hasn’t been told: the man with
whom Joanie had been having an affair. Forced to examine
what they owe not only to the living but to the dead, Matt,
Scottie, and Alex take to the road to find Joanie’s lover,
on a memorable journey that leads to unforeseen humor,
growth, and profound revelations.
