Step back to 1982 Hawaii with Sunny’s Gifts and Things, a warmly comic prequel to Middletown Mall. As Hurricane Iwa looms, five strangers find themselves stranded in a small convenience store seeking shelter from the storm. Along with shop owners Ana and Nobu, are Greg and Samantha, who daringly meet in Hawaii for a blind date, and Vincent, a man with a plan. As the storm rages outside, tensions and secrets emerge, revealing surprising connections. Sunny’s Gifts and Things explores resilience and the sweet ache for genuine relationships. Witness how one unexpected day in the eye of the storm changes lives forever.
