2008, in Culver City, California, the banner tow pilot and single father GREG CAMP listens as the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) eye specialist discloses that he has a retinal degenerative disease. A condition that will lead to complete blindness if he doesn’t follow the strict diet the doctor orders and, for the time being, also a suspension of his pilot license. At least until he undergoes a much-needed surgery.

As his condition worsens and is at risk of losing the only means to provide for his two kids who live with him in a motorhome provided by the Gardenia Valley Airfield, the company where he has worked for since as long as he can remember, Greg struggles to make ends meet. His condition morally breaks the family, bringing troubles to his relationship with his son Chris (15), who openly defies him bringing extra cash by washing cars in a lot nearby. But to Digger (8), Greg is still his hero and Chris resents it because he knows all the admiration is based in nothing but lies and some achievements, like the Cuban Eight, his upside down signature flying maneuver, that made him popular back in the day.

Without any money or a wife, but committed to his sons, Greg sees a chance to provide for his family by accepting a job in the mechanic’s department and also by selling the 1930´s Pitcain Mailwing, a light aircraft his father had left him. His only real asset and the only way he finds to pay for his eye.

RANDY BABBITT, an inspector from the FAA, drives to the airfield to clear a query in Greg’s case to which he has been appointed to: Did Greg break the law by using his private pilot license for commercial purposes? Because towing banners without a proper license is an ethical violation that could result in a trial and most likely a penalty. Randy vows to keep an eye on him.

After going through surgery, Greg, with his eyesight still blurry, goes to the FAA and fills an application to get his license back, but what he applies to by mistake, is a form for a co-pilot position for “Southwest Airline”. Broke but determined, he sees that position as an opportunity to get back in the game and also his aircraft back. But unable to perform as a pilot he’s replaced by a new pilot and is asked to move out of the motorhome with his kids. With nowhere else to go, Greg asks, ROGER CAIN, his brother in law, for help and is offered a temporary job at the elevator maintenance company where he works.

As Greg continues his training for the co-pilot license he meets with Willy Walsh to apply for a job. Willy is speechless as he reviews Greg’s almost empty application. It’s obvious Greg doesn’t know much about theory and it become evident that he’s also struggling with his eyesight. But Greg knows he has what it takes with more than 20.000 hours up in the air and pleads that he might not see all too well, but insists that he has the skill to fly just by listening to the sound of the propeller.
A “Diversity and Inclusion” statement convinces Willy to give him a break and he tells Greg that the co-pilot position requires a couple of expensive books and also an unpaid training period. Willie also gives him an ultimatum: if he doesn’t get his license before the training ends, the opportunity to work in that company will be handed to someone else. Greg is optimistic as he heads back to the motel where he and the kids have been staying for the past days and finds Digger scared and crying because Chris is gone.

As Greg struggles to save his family, Randy Babbitt continues to make it harder for him to accomplish his goal but Greg is determined. A new training class: “Pre-flight manual planning. BEN WILFER, the instructor appointed to Greg, drives him in his car, not to the practice airfield, as he’d thought, but to a private hangar instead.
“In here, your father, the old grumpy Camp, built more than 700 helicopters” he tells him. In that moment Greg remembers where he’s coming from and what he’s really made of.

With no money left to pay at the motel, Greg is forced to take the kids down to a warehouse to crash for the night only to be discovered the next day by the security guards who call the police. In court, the judge decides to put the kids in foster care until Greg can fully demonstrate he can provide for his children. A new hearing is scheduled in a month.

The day has come for the FAA co-pilot candidate final evaluation. When their turn comes to discuss Greg’s progress, most inspectors are not convinced, but Ben Wilfer steps in, “We believe in our people and America is still the land of equality and opportunities. He can’t see well, yes, but he has the experience, and most importantly, the instinct that expert pilots do have. He’s passed each and every test with flying colors. He’s been landing planes just by listening to its propellers, if that’s not real talent, I don’t know what is.” Ben Wilfer finally manages to convince everyone and Greg gets the job.

Greg opens the door at the family service community room. Kids and teachers turn to see him dressed in a suit and wearing a cap with a shiny logo that reads: “Southwest Airlines”. Digger smiles and runs to him. Greg is again his hero.

DARKNESS. We hear Greg’s voice: “My son making a hand salute. That’s one of my latest memories when I could still see. Sometimes we forget that the most important heritage is our own values. We just need enough time to absorb what we’re really worth. The earth will be happy to know some of us fight hard to become something other than just dirt.”

Where clean drinking water is nearly exhausted, FINLEY, a census officer, 40s, takes his bride, EMILY 30s, and her 9-year old son, EWAN, on a working vacation to the once-grand tropical escape — Bedroom City. It will be a chance to fish, relax and – Emily hopes – for Ewan to grow close to the man he hates for replacing the father who abandoned him.

They find instead a decaying and desolate port town dominated by an immense water tower and a cluster of cooperative apartment buildings. There, Finley embarks on the task of updating the local census. But as Emily soon finds out, Finley is using the census as a cover. After receiving a mysterious letter from an anonymous resident of Bedroom City, Finley has come on a quest — to track down his biological parents.

Everything is run by KEITH LANGSTON, 60s, the kindly but all-powerful Administrator; who provides room, board and most importantly – clean drinking water — in exchange for the inhabitants’ labor. It doesn’t take long for Finley to sense that the locals are holding something back, hiding something that they are afraid of — something that now threatens his own family, as his wife is slowly consumed by a strange illness.

As Finley probes deeper, he is resented and rejected by the bizarre community where messages for the dead are recorded at the city’s unusually busy funeral parlour, where a siren announces the twice daily release of water into the city’s labyrinth of pipes, where the Administrator’s announcements are broadcast everywhere on loudspeakers, where a telegraph is the only connection with the outside world. Making matters worse, Ewan grows even more resentful of Finley with each passing day. But when Emily’s deteriorating health forces her onto a boat back to the mainland, Ewan does an about-face and decides to stay with Finley – the only father he has.

It is only with the help of the town’s UNDERTAKER and TILDA, a cook, that Finley learns who his parents were and why they abandoned him – and why there are over 7,000 unaccounted-for deaths. When it dawns on him that no boat and no message ever leave, he has to face the dark secret behind Bedroom City. But by then, he has been stricken with the same mysterious illness that afflicted Emily and is powerless to stop the killing. If he and the rest of Bedroom City’s terrified residents are to survive, it will be up to Ewan.
