After many interviews with Bethany’s family and reviewing her autobiography, the film began to come together for Sean. The setting is Kauai, Hawaii, where the film replays what happened to Hamilton that day. It was early one Halloween morning when Bethany went for a morning surf.

That day she unfortunately lost over half the blood in her body, but she did not allow this misfortune to stop her. Indeed her steps towards recovery were phenomenal.
