Description

In the quiet rush of a northern construction camp, two freshly discharged aviators—one Canadian, one American—find themselves far from the battlefields that shaped them. Bruce and Barney have swapped the roar of engines for the clang of steel on steel, watching the Hudson Bay Railroad snake through pristine forest and towering bluffs. The endless summer air feels like a fresh start, and their camaraderie grows as quickly as the tracks they lay.

A mysterious freight car appears on the schedule, listed simply as an airplane and supplies bound for a Major Bronson, sparking wild speculation. A posted reward for locating an unlicensed wireless station deep in the Canadian north adds a tantalizing clue, and the men’s competitive spirits ignite. Together they imagine daring flights over untouched wilderness, chasing a secret that could turn their routine work into a high‑stakes adventure.
