MOLOKA'I BOUND

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.

On a summer evening shortly after Hawai’i’s official statehood is announced, two women attend a dinner at one of their family’s homes. Ruth, a spirited school teacher, and Grace, the pastor’s daughter, hide their love for each other while Ruth’s prim sister tries to set her up with yet another man from church.

Ruth doesnʻt want to be married; Grace doesnʻt want to be American. The two women spend a stolen moment together, considering a life where they don’t have to hide or pretend.
