Paradise Broken (2011)

In the shadow of the radiant Waikiki Beach, nestled only half a mile away from its lustrous sands and azure waters, resides the world of Ray and Misha, a realm far removed from Honolulu's picturesque allure. As dusk falls, the hustle of sightseers dwindles, and the labyrinth of Waikiki's back alleys comes alive with the underbelly of paradise. Ray, a small-time purveyor of narcotics, and Misha, a hula-dancer-turned-lady-of-the-night, scavenge a livelihood from the remnants of the tourist trade. Their world fractures following a fierce altercation, propelling Ray on a remorse-fueled quest for Misha, now pregnant and solitary. Misha, in turn, finds herself squared against menacing adversaries — an abusive patriarch and a ruthless kingpin of Waikiki's underworld. As the duo navigates their separate paths, will they manage to converge once more, transcending the malevolent forces that strive to subjugate them? Or does their separation signify their lone shot at survival in this stark, violent realm concealed beneath Hawaii's pristine veneer? Paradise Broken paints an unflinching portrait of the unseen Hawaii, the reality that unfolds in the heart of paradise when the spotlight of the sun dims. It's a tale of resilience and survival, of love and loss, set against the backdrop of a paradise city's forgotten shadows.

Paradise Broken is a crime movie featuring Dante Basco and directed by James Sereno.
