When teenager and surfing champion, Jen Hassley is kidnapped, Hawaii Five-0 are tasked with investigating and rescuing Jen.

Lori, Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarrett and Detective Danny Williams learn that Jen is alive and that the teenager is being held in a cult belonging to her grandfather, Steve Carver.

The cult that Steve Carver is composed of members who reject any and all modern teachings, believing that society and its own trappings are the workings of the Devil.

Steve, Danny, and Lori invade the island and save Jen as well as Jen's biological mother, Rhea Carver who is also Steve Carver's daughter with the team also successfully stopping and arresting Steve Carver too.

Jen is reunited with her adopted parents.

A while later, Jenna leaves the team for good after announcing that she's revealed that her fiance may still be alive.
