Il se demande aussi s’il doit vendre les terres familiales, les dernières plages tropicales vierges des îles, héritées de ses ancêtres hawaïens. Quand Alexandra lui révèle que sa mère avait une liaison, le monde de Matt vacille. Avec ses deux filles, il part à la recherche de l’amant de sa femme. Durant une semaine essentielle, au fil de rencontres tour à tour drôles, perturbantes et révélatrices, il va finalement prendre conscience que sa principale préoccupation est de reconstruire sa vie et sa famille…
