Davy and Jo Michaud have been recently orphaned. Taken in by a distant relative—a famous aviator—they are now working with a group of stunt pilots who spend their time wing walking, leaping from plane to plane, and flying through fireworks! But though the stunts are dangerous, the real threat is building behind the scenes.

When Davy and Jo cross paths with the Klan, they get tangled up in a terrible revenge plan. Can they escape with their lives?
