True love, tragedy, ancient myths, and second chances...
In ancient Hawaii, a young princess and a commoner fall in love. Although they are forbidden from each other, the young lovers believe they have the blessings of the gods and so they work to find a way to be together. But their love ends tragically, setting off the Hawaiian myth of the naupaka flower, a symbol of their love.

As Liz settles in to her new "island" life with her new friends, she finds herself opening up to new adventures like rock climbing, kayaking and swimming with turtles. And with each new experience she has an odd sense of Déjà Vu, as if she has done it all before. And then she meets a man who feels very familiar to her and she starts having vivid dreams about him in what seems to have been a prior life.When she learns of the naupaka myth and the the tragic fate of the doomed ancient lovers she begins to question everything.
Liz can't help but wonder, is she doomed to a similar fate as the ancient lovers she feels so connected to? Or can she break free of the curse she has always felt trapped under and finally find love and peace?
