At fighter pilot school, dogfight training puts all students under intense pressure and two rookies are in trouble. 19 year-old Seano is on a do-or-die flight; a fail will see the end of his dream to be a real top gun. Chetts, the course leader, misses class and is playing catch-up. Meanwhile, Kartik Maharaj and seven other top gun Hornet pilots launch a practice attack on ships in the South China Sea. After a frenzied battle campaign the squadron retires to Singapore to honour fallen military men and women in the Anzac Day Dawn Service.
