Hawaiian Eye

Set against the sunlit bustle of Honolulu, Hawaiian Eye follows private investigators Tom Lopaka and Tracy Steele as they operate out of a beachfront resort. Balancing official security duties with private cases, they navigate thefts, missing persons, and shady schemes that drift in with tourists and locals alike. Their resourceful ally Kazuo Kim, a taxi operator with eyes and ears across the island, often helps them reach leads quickly and safely. Each case blends crime-solving with the unique rhythms and tensions of island life.

Hawaiian Eye centers on Tom Lopaka and Tracy Steele, two private detectives whose day job places them at a popular Hawaiian resort where they handle security concerns, protect guests, and respond to incidents that threaten the hotel’s reputation. Beyond the resort’s doors, they take on outside clients who bring problems ranging from stolen valuables and blackmail attempts to disappearances and suspicious accidents. The series uses Honolulu’s tourist corridors, back streets, and coastal settings to frame investigations that move between glamorous nightlife and everyday community troubles. Frequently joining their efforts is Kazuo Kim, a friendly, sharp taxi-company owner who knows the island’s shortcuts and the people who use them, providing transportation, introductions, and timely information. Together, the trio follows clues, interviews witnesses, and untangles motives with steady professionalism, building cases that reflect both the allure and the risks of a busy island destination.
