Running for Grace is a 2018 American romance film directed by David L. Cunningham based on the original screenplay by Christian Parkes.

Jo, an orphan of mixed-race lineage, finds himself ostracized by both groups until Doc, a white doctor from the mainland, is hired as a physician for workers on the plantation owned by Mr. Danielson.

Mr. Danielson meets a new doctor, Dr. Reyes, and invites him to tend to the white upperclass residents of the island, even as his company is going bankrupt.

Dr. Reyes later expresses a romantic interest in Grace, and her father, seeing it as an opportunity to save his plantation and way of life, encourages the proposal.

Mr. Danielson sets out on a trip to Hilo to discuss his looming bankruptcy with the bank, intending to inform them that Grace is marrying into a wealthy family.

Grace's caretaker of several years, Miss Hanabusa, approves the proposal and informs everyone that Mr. Danielson was bankrupt.
