At 8:07 on a Saturday morning in January, an alert is issued to the state of Hawaii. It reads BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. This is one family's story.

Inspired by actual events, this film tells the story of six childhood friends who paddled into the waves at Banzai Pipeline on the night of October 14, 2001 . . . Only five paddled back to shore . . . Four years later, the survivors are haunted by the memory of what they vowed to forget.
