1962. As John Glen orbits the Earth for the first time in human history an ultra-classified but volatile prototype jet is about to take to the air. The XR-118 was designed to give the U.S. an edge in the burgeoning Cold War with Russia, but the jet also contains another closely guarded secret the papers won’t print: a black pilot in the cockpit. As Air Force Lieutenant Leon
Anderson takes the unstable craft through its paces, he passes out, flashing back thirty years to the childhood tragedy that inspired him to fly.
