It's 1943 and Jack Devine, a farmer's son from the rural North of Scotland, is finally called up to the RAF. Jack dreams of becoming a pilot, breaking hearts and returning home a hero. The realities of training are very different, with boredom, bullying and casual violence the norm. Drawn together by a love of jazz music, Jack makes friends with Terry, worldly Welshman dabbling in the black market, Joe, a fellow Scot and aggressive anti-fascist, as well as the public school educated Clive. The group form a jazz band to surprising acclaim and for a while an alternative future to that preordanied for each seems possible. But the camaraderie soon gives way to simmering resentment as age-old tensions resurface.
