Early 1918. After escaping from captivity, pilot Martin Falconer is initially prevented from returning to combat, but persistence eventually takes him back to France. He finds that the air war has changed: larger formations, stricter procedures and relentless operational demands have replaced much of the improvisation he once valued.

Repeated missions place increasing strain on Falconer and the pilots around him as the final German offensives and Allied counter-attacks reshape the Western Front. He is determined to survive long enough to discover what life might mean after the war, but every flight makes that future less certain.
