Synopsis:

The not too distant future; the isle of Crete, in the Aegean Sea, has been resurrected as a modern Mount Olympus, home to an omnipotent air force. The flyers that pilot the great birds of war have been raised since birth to believe they are the new gods of Olympus, taking their names from the Greek myths. Icarus is Olympus’ top flyer, a battle-hardened pilot dedicated to the Corps, lording his might over a nameless globe.

One day among the clouds, an encounter with one of the enemy throws Icarus into a disturbing web of confusion, inspiring a quest to decipher the origins of the ambiguous war. When Icarus discovers the truth behind his life of killing he is plunged into a conscience.
