B. is a fiercely ambitious young girl and aspiring pilot who has decided that she must realize her destiny to fly before turning 10. In a makeshift airplane built in her backyard treehouse, she recounts the thrilling and legendary victories of her hero, Amelia Earhart. That night, following a tremendous thunderstorm, a mysterious birdlike visitor appears, and B. wonders if this strange creature might be an incarnation of her hero and her inspiration to finally take flight.
