Will Stevenson is a skilled pilot trapped behind a desk at RAF High Wycombe during the height of World War II. Bound by his mother's protective influence, he grapples with the shame of safety while his peers face the perils of the sky. Everything changes when he boldly confronts Air Chief Marshal Arthur Harris, defending the honor of the beleaguered Pathfinder Force. Recognizing Will's hidden genius in electrical engineering and his unwavering courage, Harris offers him a path out of the shadows. Now tasked with testing revolutionary radar and guidance systems for the Operational Research Sector, Will must bridge the gap between scientific innovation and the brutal reality of aerial combat. In a race against time, he seeks to redefine his legacy and prove that true bravery isn't just about flying into the fire, but lighting the way for others to survive it.
