## Synopsis

A jaded ex-air-force ace, now a bounty hunter who chases sky pirates for cash, lives alone on a hidden Adriatic island under a strange curse that has given him the face of a pig. When a brash young American challenges him and an old flame tugs at his heart, he's forced to reckon with the war he survived, the friends who didn't, and why he keeps the world at wing's length. Underneath the seaplane dogfights is a melancholy story about a man hiding from his own humanity.
