Exile in Hawai'i
David Schrader
- Horatio
- Benedict
- is
- a
- confused
- young
- man
- navigating
- his
- way
- through
- a
- seemingly
- aimless
- life
- in
- 1990's
- America.
- We
- explore
- childhood
- memories
- of
- angry
- teachers,
- brutal
- games
- of
- kickball,
- and
- a
- cast
- of
- colorful
- characters
- who
- set
- the
- young
- man
- on
- a
- rocky
- path
- of
- uncertain
- steps
- and
- moral
- turpitude.
- On
- an
- ill-fated
- canoe
- ride
- to
- attend
- a
- booze-fueled
- family
- reunion,
- “Hor”
- discovers
- a
- few
- things
- about
- himself,
- including
- how
- unprepared
- he
- is
- to
- deal
- with
- the
- rapid
- advancement
- of
- young
- adulthood.Surrounded
- by
- family
- and
- friends
- who
- exert
- little
- positive
- influence,
- he
- makes
- his
- way
- from
- the
- East
- Coast
- to
- the
- West
- Coast,
- settling
- into
- a
- quirky
- existence
- on
- the
- fringes
- of
- Hollywood.
- A
- dodger
- of
- responsibility,
- Horatio
- takes
- odd
- and
- odder
- jobs
- as
- he
- leans
- on
- his
- cousin,
- Jasper,
- to
- get
- him
- out
- of
- several
- sticky
- situations.Working
- for
- Brick
- &
- Brack
- Productions,
- the
- company
- behind
- such
- landmark
- television
- series
- as
- Ichabod’s
- Atoll,
- Horatio
- finds
- himself
- on
- a
- plane
- to
- the
- Hawaiian
- islands,
- where
- a
- sad
- history
- is
- the
- backdrop
- to
- a
- frenzied
- present
- involving
- him
- in
- drugs,
- prostitution,
- and
- cheesy
- charter
- boat
- rides
- for
- chubby
- tourists.
- Ultimately,
- he
- is
- taken
- in
- and
- mentored
- by
- a
- notorious
- figure
- in
- the
- islands,
- the
- bizarre
- and
- bellicose
- Colonel
- I.
- M.
- Annoyian.
- As
- Hawaiian
- separatists
- prepare
- for
- a
- war,
- Horatio
- finds
- himself
- caught
- in
- a
- massive
- gray
- area
- –
- the
- one
- that
- lies
- between
- right
- and wrong.
