Beneath the serene beauty of Kauai’s waves, a love story was born—but so were secrets that would echo through the years.

 

In the summer of 1976, Maggie falls for Makai, a local surfer on the serene island of Kauai. Their forbidden love is fueled by stolen moments and the rush of adventure, but it becomes entangled in family expectations and the haunting events of that fateful night.

​

Fast forward to today, and Emma, Maggie’s daughter, uncovers a treasure in her mother’s attic: a photo album from that fateful summer. Inspired by the images, she begins to paint, bringing the memories to life on canvas. Each stroke reveals a story of a past she longs to understand.

​

As Emma’s artwork gains attention, it catches the eye of Makai, who recognizes one painting in particular from his own memories. Curious and drawn to the piece, he travels to California to uncover the truth about Maggie, their shared past, and a secret that threatens to tear Maggie's life apart.

 

Under the Hanalei Moon is a story that weaves together love, discovery, and the secrets that bind them. What will they uncover as they dive into the tides of the past?
