Show Guide: 'Rescue: Hi-Surf'

Synopsis: At Oahu’s North Shore, captain Sonny Jennings and his core team of lifeguards — his lieutenant Em Wright and veteran lifeguards Will Ready and Laka Hanohano monitor the dangerous Hawaiian waters. Meanwhile, new lifeguard recruits Hina Alexander and Kainalu Emerson have a flirtatious dynamic with one another as they compete to join Sonny’s district.

Between diving headfirst into difficult and life-threatening conditions to rescuing injured and in need of help beachgoers and surfers, the lifeguards are also dealing with their own personal issues. Sonny and his family are currently grieving after the loss of his nephew Zion in an accident that Sonny feels responsible for while Em reveals a romantic shared past with Will, although Will is now engaged to another woman. And Native Hawaiian lifeguard Laka is intrigued by his new colleague Jenn, a smart, capable and beautiful EMT. (Courtesy Fox, 2024)
