 Surf champion Justin Healy just got a great contract on Hawaii, training the high-profile young wave-riding talent for his sponsor WaveSync; putting them up in his house makes it even more heavenly for his teenage assistant Shoe, who has a crush on one of the girls. When Lacey Farmer sees a TV report on them, she leaves home where her mother s bossy boyfriend rules the roost and steals his credit-card to fly to Hawai and ask a sponsorship from Justin, who was her first surf teacher when he dated her ma years ago. He pleads for her, but his boss Scott Worthington refuses on account of her criminal record for violence against her ma s former lover; the present one makes clear to want vengeance on Lacey and her mother.
