1944. After years of tending to the wounded on the battlefields of France, Claire is transferred to a B-17 airbase in England. There she meets Captain Robert Rosenthal - magnetic, unyielding, and the sole survivor of a mission that wiped out his entire squadron.
When they're ordered on a five-day "morale retreat" to a remote castle, the walls they've spent years building begin to crack. Haunted by loss and bound by duty, they find in each other a fragile solace, a touch of warmth.
But in a world ruled by fear, grief, and fiery skies, feelings are a dangerous liability.
As danger closes in and the war tightens its grip, the rules that once kept them safe begin to falter.
Will their walls hold... or will the pull between them break through?
⚠️ Warning: Inspired by Masters of the Air - contains wartime violence, loss, and the harsh realities of WWII.
