Victor Drueding was a woeful family man with chronic financial trouble. His only true passion and joy was found in the world of helicopters, where he could escape the burdens of everyday life.

Then, into his life walked Eriq Steed, a skinny, strange-looking man with an oversized smile. Steed made Victor a life-changing offer that would involve his flying skills.

For the better part of a year, Victor flew for Steed and his shadow operation. But when Victor became their target, he stole their helicopter, and with his wife, fled.

The couple's hope was that, with time and distance, they would fall off the radar screen of the evil men Victor had worked for...

...they were wrong.
