This unique film is a story of war, peace and surfing. Set on the West African coast of Liberia, four young surfers travel in search of the perfect wave. With the recent war shadowing the landscape, the group must face the everyday realities of life in a war-torn world. The search for waves becomes a quest for understanding.

Juxtaposing the war-torn urban landscapes with images of a tropical paradise, the film records the stories of people they meet along the way - people like Alfred, a young boy who became Liberia's first surfer after finding a body board while fleeing from rebels. Besides rediscovering a world-class pointbreak that could be the best-kept secret in the surfing world, the surfers find something much more important – a way to travel responsibly in the 21st century.
