The story

At ʻIolani Palace, Princess Kaʻiulani and the rest of the royal family prepare for a ceremony that night to light Honolulu with only electricity. That evening, however, the ceremony is interrupted when a large group of armed white men enter the palace grounds. Led by Lorrin Thurston, the men demand that Kaʻiulani's uncle, King Kalākaua, sign a new constitution to restrict the power of the monarchy as well as to grant huge governmental powers to citizens of European ancestry.
