In Hawaiian mythology, leina (the 'leaping place') were believed to be portals to another world. After the cousins cross over a supernatural threshold, they encounter ghosts from different backgrounds and time periods over the past 100 years of Hawai'i's history who have gathered nearby drinking and relentlessly reliving moments of pain and joy in their life.
