Matt, a naive flying student, and his charming but crooked instructor Jason Collins come to blows over Fleur, Matt's older girlfriend.
All three of them fall foul of Zhukov, a Russian crime boss in Auckland, New Zealand.
Zhukov wants to muscle in on Collins' drug smuggling and he won't stop at kidnapping - or murder. Matt needs all his new flying skills to rescue the kidnap victims and bring Zhukov and Collins to justice.
