DELIVERIES
The story begins by introducing us to Paul Jackson, the co-owner of a tiny air charter company. Paul and his best friend, Dave McMurray, only operate a single plane, but their passion for bush flying outweighs the razor-thin profit margins. However, with a dwindling customer base, Paul and Dave become desperate for any business opportunities that come their way.
Jack Ward, the owner of a rustic lodge hidden in the mountains, is relieved that Paul agreed to deliver an essential package to him at the last minute. As the weather worsens, Paul starts to fear the future of his business, and soon begins to worry that he’ll lose control over other parts of his life. Meanwhile, Paul’s rugged determination to keep his plane in the air puts his morals to the test. As he fights through the dangerous weather, he contemplates the possible consequences of his choices. Will he ever see his family again, or will this be the final delivery?
