When the older man is gunned down by assassins, it's up to the younger man to helm the family business, get revenge for the killing, and leverage their earnings into some form of respectable participation in society at large. Fortunately for his short-term goals, he is an expert in the use of light aircraft, and he and his gang members skillfully use them to gain a strategic advantage. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
