I probably stand a better chance of finding lost gold than winning the lottery but someone’s gotta try. When two Brooklyn teenagers, Pili (Kea Peahu) and Ione (Alex Aiono), are forced to spend a summer in rural Oahu, Hawaii, helping their widowed mother, Leilani (Kelly Hu), to nurse their estranged grandfather, Kimo (Branscombe Richmond) back to health, they are less than thrilled and are not shy at showing it to their mother and grandfather. ....

Finding ‘Ohana follows brother and sister Ioane (Alex Aiono) and Pili (Kea Peahu) along with their mother, Leilani (Kelly Hu) as they head from the home in New York where they’ve grown up back to O’ahu, Hawai’i after their grandfather, Kimo (Branscombe Richmond) suffers a heart attack. The kids don’t want to be in a run-down house with no wifi on an island they barely know, especially Pili, who misses geocaching and her friends at home.
