A chartered DC-8 bound from Cairo to a U S base in Kentucky, crashes and burns during takeoff in Gander Newfoundland. Ice on the wings is the official explanation.However,one soldier,an eye-witness to the crash, knows it was an explosion on board before plane went down. He and those working with him, who know there was a cover up, begin a dangerous quest to find the reason why more than two hundred soldiers died that day. Certain people in the highest levels of government and the Military are willing to stop at nothing to keep this long buried deadly secret from becoming public,including elimination of those who would try to expose them.
