The setting is the eighteen greens of the Brazoria Bend golf course in Southeast Texas where four sets of golfers make their way around the course. There is a father who has been given the task of telling his young son that his wife is leaving him, a golden years couple who constantly bicker over the winning power of a pink golf ball, two slackers that are in hot pursuit of the beer girl, and a collection of ladies from the Sunset Society (an organization of women who wear orange hats). The audience is guided through the evening by the course greenskeeper, Lyle - who watches each group as an interested observer. Featuring scenes that range from slapstick comedy to heartfelt drama, Gene Kato's award-winning script is a true slice of life that everyone can relate to.

The Valley Isle serves as the backdrop for this tale of relationships attempting to navigate rough waters. When straight-laced Stanley takes his estranged wife, their recent college grad daughter and her milquetoast fiancé to Maui, what should be a celebratory trip quickly turns ugly. The group finds themselves rooming next to a homosexual couple who have traveled to Hawaii to have a civil union ceremony, but who soon find their relationship is starting to show cracks as well. It's only with the help of an overbearing ex-dancer, that the couple realize that it's facing the challenges of relationships head-on that will steer them through rough seas and enable them to land on calmer shores.
