Description: In July 1944, bomber pilot Henry Supchak lost control of his aircraft and crashed at the base of an Austrian mountain. Held for days at a small village, Supchak remembered a small boy who would sneak into their holding area with food and water until German soldiers relocated the pilot and his crew to a detention camp. Nearly eighty years later, plagued by nightmares of war, Supchak hopes to reunite his former crewmates to make peace with his life, unaware that half a world away, an Austrian entrepreneuer who barely remembers helping the captured American soldiers is on the same quest.
