Sara, the daughter of a working class family, was crushed when her high school sweetheart rejected her for the daughter of a successful lawyer. Heartbroken, Sara left California and moved to Philadelphia to live, and four years later met and married Tim, a talented young physician. Tim had mounting educational debts, but they were in love, optimistic and courageous as they returned to California. It has been said that the gentle hands of time will heal, but some memories refuse to die.

Little did she know of the volatile mix that brews when the past meets the present. Tim's passion to fly is the enticement that ties him to evil fanatics and turns a bright future into calamity.
