O'ahu west side local Sāmoan, Johann Tuiolosega, is given the opportunity to leave his struggles with the adversities of the Lu (Helelua St.) and his brother who's a drug addict. Paradise isn't always a location, and sometimes the best solution comes from the most tragic event. We are met with our protagonist who struggles in making a positive difference among his family, friends, and work, but is given an opportunity to leave Hawai'i and the trauma that comes with it. Will he stay or will he go?
