Come take flight with these four unique characters as they surprise you with the unexpected experiences of life that make it hard to keep the blue side up.

1. Mick, a young pilot/aircraft mechanic of a small airport in Welland also acts as the airport manager in exchange for living space above the hangar, where he is guardian of his 13 year old sister left in his care by his deceased parents. He understands aircraft, but not so much raising a teen sister.
2. Dee-J just turned 13 and is growing up in an apartment above an airport hangar while her classmates have normal lives in normal homes. But what is normal? She’s an adventurous teen who loves to fly.
3. Jade was abandoned by her mother as a child and grew up in the foster system. She is friends with Mick and Dee-J and occasionally helps Mick with raising Dee-J. But Mick and Jade operate completely differently making their relationship interesting. She also works part time for Mick while taking classes at college.
4. Delilah is everyone’s friend and Jade’s college roommate. She’s compassionate and caring and wouldn’t have experienced half the adventures if it weren’t for her controlling and needy friend Jade.
