In the skies over 1946, a mysterious force sabotages every plane owned by industrialist Norton Bemis, leaving only one pair with the skills to uncover the truth: Rocketman and Rocketgirl. As mechanical failures plague Bemis' fleet, the duo takes to the air, chasing clues through the clouds and into the heart of a sabotage that’s anything but accidental.
