Compared to IN COLD BLOOD and SERPENTINE, this is the story of racial and class conflict in 1930s Hawaii, when four native youths are accused of raping and beating the wife of a US Navy officer. A gripping thriller.

An assault on the wife of a Navy lieutenant shatters the idyllic facade of American life on the Hawaiian Islands in the 1930s, as four local boys are falsely accused of the crime.
