In 1944, a Liberator bomber pilot writes a letter to his daughter on the occasion of her first birthday. He posts it moments before embarking on a mission to Domodossola in Northern Italy. Tragically he never returns and neither the wreckage of his plane nor his body has ever been found.
In 1964, Linda Carr resolves to find out what happened to her father on that terrible night. It is a mystery that has haunted her all her life. She employs the help of motorcycle TT racer Jack Kirby, a man who has his own inner demons to combat. He was a Mosquito fighter pilot during the War and experienced at first hand the astonishing courage of the Italian partisans in the face of Nazi brutality. Jack is keen to find one of the partisans, a women he fell passionately in love with all those years ago, someone with a past as dark as the secrets she still holds close to her heart.
What Jack and Linda discover in their journey deep into uncharted mountain regions where they attempt to piece together the fragments of their personal stories, is more dangerous and life-changing then anyone could ever have imagined.
