Henry Roth is a marine-life veterinarian at Sea Life Park on the island of Hawaii who has a reputation of being a ladies man and targets female tourists and he has no interest in committing to a serious relationship with these ladies. He constantly gives these women excuses as to why he can’t give them his number. He owns an old boat which he plans to use to fulfil his dream. His friend Ula who happens to be his workmate and his closest friend is a marijuana-smoking Islander and Henry’s other friends include his assistant Alexa, whose sexuality and gender is unclear, Willy his pet African penguin and Jocko a walrus from his workplace.
One day Henry’s old boat breaks down while he is sailing at sea. He goes to the Café to wait for the Coast Guard to help bring his boat which happens to be falling apart to shore. While Henry is waiting at the café he sees a beautiful woman named Lucy Whitmore, who makes art with her waffles. Henry does not approach her instantly and he just assumes that she is a local lady so he chooses not to go and introduce himself to her, but the next day he comes back and he sees Lucy at the café and approaches her and he hit it off instantly and she asks him to meet her again tomorrow morning.
When Henry goes back to the café, Lucy shows no recollection of ever meeting him. The restaurant owner Sue, who was the best friend of Lucy’s late mother, explains to Henry that a year previous, Lucy and her father Marlin went up to the North Shore to pick a pineapple for his birthday. On the way back, they got into a serious car accident that was caused by a stray cow that left Lucy’s father Marlin with 3 broken ribs and Lucy with loss of her short term memories which is called Goldfield Syndrome in the movie, a type of anterograde amnesia and wakes up every morning thinking it is October 13, 2002. To save her the heartbreak of reliving the accident every day, Marlin and Doug, Lucy’s steroid-addicted lisping brother, relive Marlin's
