In a huge Hawaiian mansion by the sea live Jack Wolfe, ruthless millionaire, and his knockout wife, ex-hooker Nora. Weary of marriage, she seduces dim-bulb aging surfer Chad to kill her husband. But then it seems as if Jack wants Chad to kill him -- or rather, he wants it to look like he was killed so he can avoid legal prosecution and begin a new life. He offers the kid a new and better deal. Then it gets complicated: who are allies and who are conspirators is not known. It's all observed by Hawaiian Jewish detective Dani Kahana -- also in love with Nora. This complicated tale ends explosively with a hilarious and unexpected close.
