In the mid 1940s, three brothers, brawny and athletic twins Lloyd and Curtis (20), and their younger and much smaller brother Nash (just 18) head out to do their part in the second world war. Three months into their tour, Nash now stationed in Paris, gets word that his brother Curtis (while carrying important top secret documents) is caught behind enemy lines. With Lloyd (and his unit) too far away to help. Nash knows Curtis’s life (and maybe winning the war?) lies squarely on his shoulders. But what can an artist and daydreamer do to help? Well, Nash thinks he has a plan, an ingenious idea to save the life of his brother and pull off one of the most inventive scams in the history of the armed forces. The predicament lay in the fact that Nash and his unconventional band of artistic compatriots possessed no conventional arsenal. Armed only with their creative ingenuity, they are confronted with the formidable task of rescuing Curtis, all within the narrow confines of three fleeting days. Their quest holds not only the promise of sibling salvation but the prospect of tipping the scales toward victory in the world’s war.

In '71, during a blistering summer, Arlo and his mother fled Chicago for the sun-soaked shores of Santa Cruz, California. Arlo, a self-proclaimed city slicker, despised the gritty sand, relentless heat, quirky locals, and swarming tourists. But beneath his disdain, a burning desire simmered - to belong, find a friend or two, and taste life beyond his beloved books.

That same sweltering summer, Otto lived a ghostly existence with his partner of four decades, Jeanie. Days slipped by in mechanical monotony, a desperate effort to drown out a painful past. Yet, within this numb routine, Otto sought something to spark anticipation, a flicker of life, and a chance at redemption.

Up the coast, in a grand mansion overlooking the endless Pacific, lived Echo, an enigma in the seaside town. Her life overflowed with opulence, but an unfillable void lingered, yearning for acceptance, to make a difference, and to find true companionship and maybe, young love.

The underline force that pulls the 3 together is the power of a tiny wooden tiki. It’s an icon for Otto and a faith long given up, a symbol of courage and new possibilities for Arlo and a story of things that maybe can’t be changed for Echo.

What they unearth in this wild journey is that the Tiki isn't a vessel for mystical enchantments or ancient incantations. It's not some fabled wellspring of boundless courage. No, it's a tether to something more profound – family and community. The Tiki doesn't gift you courage; it sharpens your focus, nudging you to believe in yourself and, most crucially, in the power to reshape the world. It's not always a fairy-tale ending, but you, my friend, are the relentless engine driving your own destiny.

In the remote meeting point of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah stands Hendrix Simms' childhood home. In his late twenties, Hendrix had left this place and never looked back. But fate took a turn when his grandfather, who had raised him, suddenly passed away.

Facing a sense of duty, Hendrix decided to journey back to his family home in the desert. He thought it would be a quick trip to pay respects, finalize the land sale, grab some old photos, and move on. Little did he know, within those walls were a treasure trove of memories to explore, a mystery that needed solving, unexpected allies to protect, and, most importantly, . . . Lila
