'1914- Brothers Thom and Archie Hogan are the best of friends who love nothing more than tinkering with their father's old bi-plane, with shared dreams of soaring over the wheatfields after a hard day at work on the land. But matters of the heart come between them when Molly James arrives in town.

'Beautiful and headstrong, Molly captures the attention of the two young men, both of whom compete valiantly for her affections. However when war strikes and the brothers rush to enlist, and Molly answers the call to nurse in London, nothing is a game any more.
