Dominion Ontario, 1933

Justin is stuck.

He’s stuck manning the office when he’d rather be flying. Of course he can’t leave until one of his fellow pilots for St. Lawrence Couriers returns. But even then, customers aren’t exactly beating down the door with deliveries, either.

With nothing to do but read the sports page over and over and over again, Justin wishes for a good, quick, well paying job; something lucrative enough to make him put down the paper, throw out the employee hand book, lock up the office and head back into the big blue.

And that’s when he met Carmen; the leggy brunette he had always dreamed of. And when Carmen offers Justin easy money to fly a single package deep into the heart of northern Ontario, no questions asked, how can he say no?

Too bad there’s no such thing as easy money.
