Hans Raeder has woken up in a German military hospital in France. Nothing out of the ordinary after having been wounded in combat. The problem is, he's convinced he's an American pilot by the name of James O'Brady. Since he can't tell anyone—especially not Theo, the young pilot who idolizes him—Hans will have to find his own way of discovering who he really is...
