She gives Mike an ultimatum – if he continues to look for the wedding, he cannot date her. He agrees, putting his job and a large cash bonus in jeopardy.
They go on dates and nature outings together, falling deeply in love. Over the course of their relationship, Mike learns about Hawaiian lifestyles as he spends time with her and her family. He tries to understand their Pidgin-English slang and obscure, “Dakine” Hawaiian sub-culture.

It’s the celebrity couple, Mike had been in pursuit of, arriving for their private, sunset beach wedding. Astonished at his good fortune, he forgets his promise to Kuuipo and films them. She sees him do it which angers her. They argue and break-up.
As a result, Mike must hike out of the valley alone, while reminiscing about Kuuipo and knowing that he must choose between his budding career in LA or a new life and love on Kauai.
