SYNOPSIS - Hugh and Heke
Hugh's family of five arrive on a deserted beach for a quiet holiday after his doctor orders him to relax and let go of his stress. But that's hard to do when Heke, a big Maori guy, and his tribe of five, pull up and park right next to him with all his noise and chaos.Hugh's had enough. Heke draws a line in the sand. Now each has their own territory. It seems that centuries later nothing much has changed in regard to the ownership of land in New Zealand. But Hugh and Heke have no control over their woman, or their kids, who don't want to be any part of their surrogated group. When they're ordered by their wives to catch dinner, the two men are forced to go fishing together and bring home a fish or else. But when they snag the same fish, it's Heke, the Maori, who claims his fishing rights. Their new friendship is now short lived, until Heke realizes it's not about dinner, it's about the woman holding out on sex, if they don't become friends and bring home dinner they're in for a even longr dry spell.
