Valley Fliers

Jay Smalley, seventeen, loves remote control aviation. He spends most of his time flying model planes at a San Fernando Valley miniature airfield near his home. When a newcomer arrives at the field practicing risky maneuvers with a military-grade drone, Jay suspects there is more to this stranger than meets the eye. But Jay has always been a little paranoid and too prone to conspiracy theories for his own good. As Jay rallies his fellow Valley Fliers to help unpack what he believes the drone pilot is hiding he sabotages his budding romance with co-pilot Cassie and alienates Kent, the father figure who manages their tiny airfield like it's Edwards Air Force Base. He even puts his scholarship to flight school at risk. Is Jay deluded or the only one who can see a clear and present danger posed by the cocky new flight suit on the tarmac? Jay Smalley, seventeen, loves remote control aviation. He spends most of his time with model planes at the San Fernando Valley miniature airfield near his home. When a newcomer to the field arrives and boldly practices flight maneuvers with a military-issue drone, Jay suspects he may be an assassin who uses drones to kill. Jay rallies his skeptical fellow Valley Fliers to surveil the suspect in a move that puts everything he cares about at risk: his scholarship to flight school, his budding romance with Cassie, a fellow remote flier, and his relationship with Kent, the father figure who manages the tiny airfield like its Edwards Air Force Base. Is Jay deluded or is he the only chance to stop an act of terrorism that will put hundreds if not thousands of lives in jeopardy?
