As a flyer with the French Air Service during World War I, Louisiana Cajun Quentin Norvell has become a tough fighter pilot in the days before Americas entry into the war. When he is badly wounded, he chooses to feign death to stave off further attack instead of jumping from the cockpit to his deatha decision that will have far-reaching consequences for his future state of mind. He crash lands, but survives. While recuperating in a French hospital, Quentin struggles to heal. But even though his body starts to mend, his emotions are open and raw. He sees his actions in the sky as cowardice and resolves to become a focused and deadly killer in the sky. Then the unthinkable happens.
