Kalina loves the beach and she loves to surf. She lives on the Big Island of Hawaii with her father, Etana, and her brother, Moke. But, Kalina discovers that she can no longer surf on Kamilo Beach, where her father taught her because the ocean and the beach are filled with plastic, trash and garbage that is not only ruining the beach of her ancestors, but the plastic pollution is destroying the planet and killing the sea life she has come to love. "Can it change?" Kalina wonders, "it must," she thinks, "something must be done."
