*The Wind and The Reckoning is the true Hawaiian story of Ko’alau and Pi’ilani who are forced to flee after the government tries to separate their family during a Leprosy outbreak.*

*As an outbreak of leprosy engulfs 19th-century colonial Hawai’i, a small group of infected Native Hawaiians resist government-mandated exile, taking a courageous stand against the provisional government in a story inspired by real-life events.*
