...this tale of forbidden love in plantation-era Hawaii isn't without appealing qualities -- chiefly, a strong cast and positively gorgeous shots of the island setting.

In the segregated society of 1920s Hawaii, a young boy of mixed race named Jo finds family and purpose when he is adopted by a white doctor, Doc. Jo's natural talent for running and his dedication to helping Doc deliver medicine to the coffee pickers on the plantations earn him respect and admiration from both communities. But when Jo falls in love with the plantation owner's daughter, Grace, he must confront the harsh realities of their classist society. As Jo and Grace's relationship blossoms, they face opposition from her father and the new doctor in town, who seeks to separate them and maintain the status quo. In the end, Jo must summon all his courage to fight for his love and his place in a world that seems determined to keep him down.
