Summary

Private investigator Walter Hale is killed in an apparent hit and run in Hawaii. His sons, estranged half-brothers US Navy SEAL James and suspended police detective Jonny, are informed of his passing. Yakuza thugs attack Jonny at his Oklahoma home, believing that Walter had sent him a package. Although initially ambivalent about Walter's passing because of their non-existent relationship, Jonny decides to head to Hawaii to attend the funeral and investigate his death. There, he is reunited with James and meets his wife Leila and their children, as well as their cousin Nani who works for Governor Peter Mahoe, also a longtime family friend.

Both Jonny and James investigate Walter's death separately, converging on his ransacked apartment. They work with Walter's assistant Pika and find plans for a casino and resort hidden in a surfboard. With Nani's help, they discover the casino is to be built on Hawaiian home lands, with the site already home to a small community. Jonny and James infiltrate a party held at casino developer Marcus Robichaux's house. Jonny discovers that Walter had been hired by both Marcus and his wife Monica to investigate each other, while James encounters yakuza leader Nakamura, whose shell company owns the vehicle involved in Walter's death. Jonny goes to meet Monica the next day but finds her dead; believing Marcus to be responsible, he returns to the house to confront him, but is beat up by Marcus' security and locked up in jail.

After Jonny is released, James and Jonny fight each other to settle their differences, with Jonny revealing that he is motivated to investigate Walter's death because he was unable to solve the murder of his own mother, while James reveals that he sent Jonny away to save his life from the Syndicate, a local crime group that Jonny blames for his mother's death, leading to their estrangement. Jonny's ex-girlfriend Valentina calls him from Oklahoma, telling him that a package from Walter had arrived at his house. After Valentina personally delivers the package to Hawaii, they find it contains a flash drive that acts as a security key to a digital wallet owned by Walter before they are attacked by more yakuza. After fighting them off, they discover the digital wallet contains millions of dollars as well as transaction information relating to offshore bank accounts owned by Governor Mahoe. They come to the conclusion that Robichaux, in league with the yakuza, has been bribing the Governor to legalize gambling and to give him permission to build a casino on Hawaiian home land, and that Walter was murdered after he uncovered the plot and sent the flash drive to Jonny.

James and Jonny receive a call from Robichaux revealing that he has kidnapped Leila and Nani, and demands the flash drive for their lives. James and Jonny assault his house, rescue Leila and Nani, and kill Nakamura and Robichaux. Mahoe is arrested for corruption while the leader of the Syndicate gives Jonny the name of the man who killed his mother in appreciation for dealing with the yakuza; however Jonny burns the paper with the killer's name in a barbecue. Jonny decides to stay in Hawaii with James and they make plans to spend the millions left to them by Walter in the digital wallet.
