The gang travels to Hawaii on a free trip from a surfing company called "Goha Aloha"---the company wants Daphne to design some new swimwear for them. The gang also goes there to see the Big Kahuna of Hanahuna Surfing Contest. However, the contest used to only be open for the natives and not for mainlanders, but now the mayor has made it open for everybody. Many locals are angry because of this, most notably Manu Tuiama, a beefcake local surfer, and Little Jim, a friend of his. A few days before the contest, the evil Wiki-Tiki spirit and its little demons attacked the village and kidnapped Snookie, Manu's beautiful girlfriend. This drives away most of the tourists and surfers, and the locals think the spirit is angry that the surfing contest is open to anybody, and also that a new resort, Coconut Beach Condominiums, is being built on supposedly sacred ground by a local real estate agent named Ruben Laluna. The gang also meets Jared Moon, a representative from the Goha Aloha-company---when the gang meets Jared Moon in Hanahuna, he's selling tiki charms that are supposed to ward off evil demons. The mayor still won't cancel the contest, even after the Tiki demons attack again at a feast run by Laluna.

A group of vacationers on a flight when they're caught in the crossfire of a military coup. They manage to leave the resort unharmed, but due to a violent storm, the airplane carrying them to safety goes down in the South Pacific. After days of desperately floating in a life raft, the dozen very diverse survivors spot land in the distance. Exploration of the new and strange surroundings reveals that the island was once a testing site for secret biological weapons research... research that went disastrously awry. Now the monstrous evils that were created in the name of science run rampant, and each day brings challenges as the survivors fight for their lives and for a way to get off the island.
