| Synopsis
|
Haunted by nightmares and disfigured by a mysterious scar, Briony
is an orphan who knows nothing about her past. Her journey of
discovery begins when an elderly couple, Dagget and Moll, adopt her
and take her home to the remote northern town of Crowsbeak,
Saskatchewan. An outcast at school, Briony finds her calling in the
skies with Dagget in his legendary Norseman bush plane. He teaches
her to fly over vast forests of spruce, delivering freight to fire
camps and Cree communities nestled among the myriad lakes. Here she
finds she has First Nations roots, and the truth behind her scar
finally becomes clear. With both their lives at a turning point,
Briony embraces the ultimate challenge: a perilous flight with Dag in
the Norseman across the Arctic and over the Greenland ice sheet to
Scotland that will demand all her skill and courage.
