24-jul-2016, 17:15 UT/GMT Van kleins af is Dawid Pruyt versot op vlieg. Noudat hy binnekort sestien sal wees, haal hy alles uit om sy studentevlieënierslisensie te verwerf. Hy studeer egter in die geheim, want sy streng pa is geheel en al daarteen gekant. Nietemin, vorentoe beplan hy om sy vlieënierslisensie te kry sodat hy eers by die Suid-Afrikaanse Lugmag se gewilde span Silwer Valke kan aansluit. Maar iets gebeur wat sy droom verpletter.
Sy meisie, Donna Brummer, wat self ook ŉ ernstige terugslag in haar lewe ervaar het, weet egter hoe om Dawid se situasie te hanteer. Ná ŉ vlug Kaap toe, beleef die twee saam die haglike toestande op die Kaapse Vlakte waar die gebruik van dwelms, perlemoenstropery, kaping en moord hoogty vier. Dawid moet sy onsekerhede oor sy eie toekoms laat vaar en fokus op die penarie waarin hulle hulself bevind.
Dawid Pruyt has wanted to be a pilot since he was a little boy. And once he is 16, he plans to finally obtain his pilot licence. However, fate has other plans in store for Dawid. He soon finds out that he won’t be able to fly due to health reasons. His path crosses with Donna, a girl who shows him that you can still live your dream, even if it is not quite the one you had in mind. Their journey unexpectedly takes them to Cape Town, where they land on dangerous ground. They stumble across an abalone poaching operation and have to keep their wits about them to return safely back to Mpumalanga and save their new friend’s sister from the claws of drug abuse.
