An isolated air traffic controller in a small island of the Azores archipelago is contacted by a lone pilot cut helplessly adrift over the North Atlantic

Based on a true story, a young man is manning the control tower of a very small airport in the Azores when he makes contact with a plane flying blind with radio and other control issues.

At the helm is an older Scottish man, who will not have the fuel needed to make it to this airport - the nearest.

Sea rescue efforts are launched but seem futile given the odds, leaving the two men in voice contact for the remainder of the flight.
