Colonel John Quinn was a young, ambitious Air Force pilot who loved to
fly - until an Iraqi missile nearly ended his career, and his life.
Three surgeries and four years later, Quinn is functional, but not good
enough to fly. Assigned to the Pentagon, he's prepared to spend the rest
of his career in a series of boring staff jobs. Then a military Lear
jet crashes shortly after takeoff in the rural farmlands outside
Washington, and Quinn is called to lead the biggest investigation of his
life. With this crash there are no survivors - a fact that is
particularly sensitive in the White House, as the jet carried just one
passenger; the President's brother. The crash scene offers little in the
way of clues, and while the White House is pushing pilot error as the
cause of the accident, Quinn is uncertain. Too many Washington insiders,
including Quinn's former wife, a Ph.D. with the National Transportation
Safety Board, seem to have a stake in the outcome of the investigation.
Too many dodge the hard questions, or turn up dead.
