The Last Aloha continues the binge-worthy saga of the Briscoe family. Ava and her children maneuver more changes as they run the pineapple plantation known as Pali Maui amid a myriad of complications. A surprise wedding…a renovation of the golf course fraught with issues, including a formidable lender who causes trouble…a loved one facing a serious illness. All this forces the Briscoes to reevaluate priorities and cling to what is truly important…family. Yet, these struggles pale against the impact of a coming storm with consequences none of them see coming.
