Desperate to recover from the financial setback of a recent crash, Brennan auditions for a corporate farm spraying contract for what could be his retirement plan. One million acres of work is the prize, but to win it, Brennan must survive a flight through a treacherous storm. In a race with the same storm, Bud leads a team of locals to the crash site to recover valuable parts from his son's mangled plane. Young gun Travis' plane is downed when he hits a duck mid-flight, turning up the heat on his need to buy a bigger and better plane.

Flying in the “New Bermuda Triangle” – the region of Smokey Burn, Saskatchewan – Brennan loses control of his plane adding to the region's mysterious history of unexplained fires and UFO sightings. Competition is fierce as father Bud, son Brennan and rookie Travis sponsor local trucks in Nipawin, Saskatchewan's annual Mud Drags Race. Travis misses the action as he races to finalize his purchase of a new plane, a Piper Brave, and bring it back to Nipawin with the hopes of impressing one of Brennan's loyal customers.

Swamped with work, Brennan's struggle to secure a reliable ground crew ends with the arrival of his son Sean. Impressed by his father's prowess, Sean considers a future as a crop duster, but hopes are dashed when fighting amongst the Jardines boils over into a third generation. Meanwhile, an early frost threatens to destroy Bud's best crop in years. Bud puts his life on the line flying his misfiring plane to spray for his farmer neighbours and race home to spray his own wheat crop. But will Bud live to see his prize crop harvested? Travis flies "too close to the sun" by venturing into a southern territory outside the range of his restricted license to help a farmer in crisis. A disgruntled crop duster rats him out and Travis receives a call from Transport Canada, forcing him home to upgrade his license, leaving the farmer's 150K crop hanging in the balance.

Harvest has begun and farmers are clamoring for Brennan to protect their crops against rapidly advancing winter weather. Bud’s prize crop is too wet to take to market and his storage bins are falling apart. Bud races to repair his bins and find a grain dryer to save the crop. After the sudden departure of his son Sean, Brennan struggles as a one man team and makes the dangerous decision to fly in high winds knowing that his customers are relying on him. Alone with his children, Travis struggles to find childcare. He is anxious to get in the air and save a crop he could not spray after Transport Canada shut him down on a certification technicality. When Travis finally returns to spray the crop, bad weather and his caution keep him on the ground - with the farmers 150K crop hanging in the balance. After a very close call in the air, Brennan finishes the farmer’s fields and shuts down knowing that the wind is just too strong.
