Penny Davis is booked on a flight to Toronto to look for her sister. Her nine-year-old nephew, Rob, says Angela went on holiday -- without saying goodbye. But when Rob sees his stepfather, Greg, kill a man and begs Penny for asylum, she changes direction. Rather than call the police, who she believes are corrupt, Penny takes Rob to Honolulu. They'll be safe there. Or so she thinks. Followed by two hit men, she is desperate to keep her nephew safe and worried sick about her sister. And what about the attractive but bumbling tourist who turns up wherever she goes?
