After an accident that ends his career in a parachute regiment, Ed Macy refuses to give up. When the British Army launches its gruelling training programme for future Apache helicopter pilots, he is the first to volunteer — and one of the few to make it through a nightmarish selection process. In 2006, Ed Macy's Apache squadron is deployed to Afghanistan to provide support to troops on the ground. Missions follow one another in Helmand Province, each more terrible than the last, until the day a Royal Marines soldier goes missing during an assault on a fort in which nearly 200 Taliban fighters have taken up positions. The only chance of finding this man and saving him rests on the shoulders of Ed Macy and his crew. A dramatic and perilous mission whose audacity will earn him a reprimand from his superiors — before the Queen of England personally awards him a decoration.
