A young test pilot and entrepreneur, Zhang Yunchao, is killed when his domestically made amphibious aircraft crashes during a test flight, profoundly affecting his family and his close friend Ding Yantai. As the truth behind the crash is gradually uncovered, Ding Yantai also reflects on his life: studying to fly in Australia with Zhang Yunchao, working in flight training, setting up a sightseeing business, and enjoying romantic escapades with flight attendant trainees. Was a life of glamorous success abroad, funded by his father’s money, really worth it? After facing the painful truth, Ding Yantai tries to fight anew for the people he loves, for his departed friend, and for his dream of test-flying a domestically made large aircraft. Following his friend’s dying wish to build an airport in their hometown, he begins a new and determined struggle. Of course, life brings its own challenges: broken promises in love, deceit in business, cutthroat competition, and the indulgence and extravagance of the aviation world... How will this young pilot from a small town make the right choices in life?
