At the heart of this story is Danny Maccabee, a successful plastic surgeon who, despite his professional prestige, faces complications in his personal life. Danny has started a romance with Palmer, a young and charming schoolteacher, and to keep this relationship free of problems, he decides to devise a small deception. For this, he turns to Katherine, his loyal assistant, asking her to pretend to be his soon-to-be ex-wife. This seemingly innocent lie aims to cover up a slip-up and protect Danny’s image in front of Palmer.
However, as often happens in these kinds of stories, one lie leads to another, and soon things become complicated. Katherine’s role as the supposed wife not only involves Danny and Palmer but also affects Katherine’s children, who unwittingly get caught up in the mess. The situation becomes increasingly difficult to manage, with misunderstandings and confusion escalating.
To try to resolve the situation, everyone decides to take a break and travel together to Hawaii, an idyllic setting that promises to be the perfect place to clear up misunderstandings and rethink their relationships. What seemed like an escape to calm the waters turns into a transformative experience. During the weekend on the paradisiacal island, the characters not only face the consequences of their lies and mistakes but also discover deeper aspects of themselves and their emotional bonds.
