All good technology-stories are people-stories. Since the 1990s, a dedicated group of volunteers have been working in Springbank, Alberta, to create a flying copy of the famous supersonic Jet, the Avro Arrow, which was destroyed by the Diefenbaker government in 1959. Using fibre-glass, carbon fibre, and advanced materials, the team has been working on this project for decades. This film follows that work.

As they near the finish-line, they are up against the most daunting odds yet as they transition from needing volunteers to build the plane, to needing money for avionics, landing gear, etc., but perhaps the most frightening adversary is time itself, as volunteers move on, new ones arrive, and some have even passed away.
