Nothing makes Paul Jackson feel more alive than soaring through the sky with silver wings slicing through an impossibly beautiful landscape. Operating an air charter company with only one airplane is challenging, but Paul’s passion for flight overshadows the daily rigors of bush flying. Despite slim profit margins, Paul and his longtime friend Dave McMurray rarely pass up the opportunity to journey aloft, risking everything to satisfy a fledgling clientele.
On a spur-of-the-moment request, Paul hastily agrees to deliver an important cargo to a rustic hideaway nestled along a picturesque mountain lake. As lodge owner Jack Ward awaits his delivery, poor weather not only threatens his plans to promote his resort, but he also discovers that some things in his methodical life are beyond his control.
Paul’s compulsive need to keep his plane airborne and provide for his family supersedes his moral compass. As the wheels lift from the patchy asphalt runway, Paul starts to consider the ramifications of his decisions, including the potential end of a career he loves and the inevitable reality of hurting those he cares about most.
When multiple challenges arise in a short window of time, Paul and Dave must work together to preserve their livelihood and possibly their lives. In the process, Paul is forced to realign his priorities, wrestle with life’s unpredictability, and come to terms with the idea that a flight today is no guarantee of wings in the air tomorrow.
