Final Examination

In the sultry heat of a Hawaiian resort, a city‑hardened police officer looks for a fresh start. Shane Newman has been pulled from the gritty streets of Los Angeles after a botched drug bust, and his transfer is meant to cool the edge that has been burned away by too many long nights. The island’s palm‑fringed luxury offers a stark contrast to the concrete jungle he left behind, yet the laid‑back vibe masks an undercurrent of tension that feels almost as sharp as the sirens he once chased.

The catalyst arrives in the form of a glamorous sorority reunion, a weekend where former college sisters gather at an upscale hotel for a high‑profile photo shoot. Among the glittering dresses and sun‑kissed decks, Julie Seska becomes Newman’s new partner, a local officer whose calm demeanor balances his jittery instincts. Together they navigate a world where old friendships are on display, the glossy surface of a magazine‑driven event hints at deeper ambitions, and the island’s serenity is punctuated by whispers of something amiss.

As the party swells and the night deepens, the atmosphere shifts from celebration to uneasy anticipation. Newman senses that the carefree façade conceals a knot of secrets tied to the sorority’s past, the magazine’s influence, and the personal histories of those gathered. The tension is palpable, the stakes feel personal, and the tropical setting becomes a crucible for a case that may force him to confront the ghosts of his own career while uncovering a truth that refuses to stay buried.
