Plot summary

The Hawaiian Islands - beautiful swaying palm trees, long stretches of white and black sand beaches, and warm, tropical breezes day and night. When Savannah van Camp sets out to take part in a student exchange project at the University of Honolulu, she was looking forward to spend a few days in a tropical paradise. But the moment she sets foot on Oahu, things start to turn out quite different, and before she knows it she finds herself embroiled in an eco-thriller of epic proportions where everything is at stake. Will what once was a paradise be lost forever ?

Trivia

• Savannah, the main character, was originally designed to wear yellowish sport glasses. These were knocked off by the suitcase in the airport scene early on and didn't reappear.
• In the alley scene, Mika appeared (briefly) from the first trash bin.
• In the same scene, the second trash bin was very sinister. If you looked at the 'making of video', one of the annotations described the bin as containing 'Zuul'.
• A helium filled remote controlled (zeppelin) shark was used to spice up the underwater scene.
• This is first DoPE Pawpet show that has a soundtrack produced on CD which is for sale.
