This is here because I know you people are going into this knowing nothing about the characters or that kind of stuff. If such things matter to you, read on.

DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fiction. None of this happened. Except for the Backstreet Boys, any resemblance to actual persons or events is purely coincidental. However, most of the places in Hawaii (except for Club Strata, which I made up) do exist. I went there on vacation right before I wrote this story, so I remembered a lot of the street names and stuff. If I mention a real place, I'll put in an author's note.
